Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Ober Schafershaus Spätlese Trocken 'Lorenz Manni' No.18 Mosel, 2024 American whiskey a little chewy liquorice and100% Riesling. "Flinty, apple, quince, earthy and very fine" The palate is brisk and linear, tart and salty, with a cool, slatey cut that keeps everything lifted and dry. Theres energy and calm precision, the fruit tucked neatly behind the minerality. Serve with simply grilled trout with lemon and herbs, or a plate of young goat cheese and greens
