My first 2019 Falkenstein. Similar to the few Falkenstein’s of previous vintages that I have consumed , the wine’s acidity takes front & center stage . A nose of lime , peaches and stone fruit put a smile on my face. In the mouth a structure that tickles your mouth like a lovers tongue. Just when you think sweetness might take over, the acidity behaves like a boxer who has their opponent on the ropes. A wave of minerals leave a long caressing finish in the mouth.

Dec 20th, 2020My first gisela. Electrifying, pure and very intense. Ultimate interplay of sweetness and acidity. This will morph into something special in the future.

A bit more shy on open, but then blossoming into the classic Falkenstein dance of herb and stone, crackling with zesty acidity that floats into a neverending finish that leaves you salivating (literally) for more. So good!
