Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg Spätlese 'Klaus' No.6, 2024

100% Riesling. This 2024 Spätlese from Falkenstein’s Euchariusberg is lithe yet deeply refined, with a delicate bouquet of elderflower, rosewater, and minty herbaceousness, as Lars Carlberg describes it: “elderflower, rosewater, minty, and airy.” On the palate it is juicy and energetically poised, offering vibrant citrus fruit, subtle white-peach warmth, and a spine of flinty minerality framed by brisk acidity. The wine’s modest alcohol and natural spritz, the result of gentle handling, lend an elegant transparency, while its precision and tension give it serious structure. Pair with herb-crusted roasted chicken, seabass with citrus butter sauce, or a lightly dressed goat cheese salad with fresh mint and lemon.
