Falkenstein Riesling 2020

Alcohol: 12.5% White from Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige Year: 2020

La Falkenstein crafts a captivating Riesling 2020 that's a true gem. The high-altitude vineyards work magic, bestowing this Riesling with remarkable nuances and a vibrant character. What's intriguing is their use of acacia barrels - a gentle touch that preserves the Riesling's delicate charm without overwhelming it with woodiness.

A succulent peach, a squeeze of zesty lemon, and a hint of crisp green apple. But what makes this wine truly special is its minerality, like a subtle whisper of the mountains. It's a journey of flavors that linger, leaving you with a refreshing, elegant finish.
