WTN: Dry Riesling-uary “That’s Falkensteen”

[David M. Bueker]

• 2019 Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Ober Schäfershaus Riesling Spätlese Trocken #18 - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (1/16/2025)
  Refreshing, light-bodied, and also complex, this shows significant soil/mineral elements underneath typically Saar lime and green apple fruit. Where this shines is in the mid-palate and finish where it has more weight and depth than expected from the light/bright start. The minerality turns almost salty on the finish, and combined with the lime fruit it’s a mini-margarita from the Saar!

Margarita is a good reference. I've thought that before with Falkenstein, salty alcoholic lime juice!
