New Vintage Is Here : Hofgut Falkenstein 2024
🧚 如果你想搵一啲Riesling，味道清新、細膩又有層次，我哋會推介Hofgut Falkenstein💘。
好開心同大家介紹呢個Mosel酒莊嘅全新2024年份系列。爸爸Erich Weber同兒子Johannes Weber都堅持非常傳統、喺Saar少之又少嘅老派釀酒法。佢哋有機種植13公頃嘅葡萄園，唔用除草劑、化肥或者任何添加劑，純天然！佢哋親手採摘唔太熟嘅Riesling葡萄，留住嗰份爽口嘅酸度；整串葡萄輕輕壓榨，汁液過夜自然沉澱；再用野生酵母喺1,000公升Fuder大桶同500公升Halbfuder小桶入面慢慢發酵。佢哋唔用過濾機，直接從酒渣入瓶，每桶酒獨立裝瓶，用AP編號畀每桶酒展現獨有嘅個性，無泵送、無轉桶、無過濾、無加CO2，夠晒純粹！
2024年份都遇到唔少挑戰。Weber父子向Mosel Fine Wines提過：「4月22、23、24號嗰三晚嘅霜凍…仲有比過去30年多一倍嘅雨量」，真是一個大考驗！但靠佢哋喺葡萄園嘅心機同努力，葡萄依然靚到不得了，酸度鮮活，礦物感十足。雖然產量跌咗20%，但Mosel Fine Wines話2024年份嘅Hofgut Falkenstein平衡得好好，仲有「更濃郁嘅質感同抓力」！👏🏻
呢啲酒來自Saar最頂級嘅葡萄園💫，老藤種喺鐵質豐富嘅灰色板岩同少少石英砂岩土壤度。Weber家族擁有Euchariusberg（又叫Großschock）南向坡嘅黃金地段，係區內種葡萄嘅頂尖位置。佢哋仲有Ockfener Bockstein嘅0.3公頃靚地，經常同Scharzhofberg齊名，係Saar最出名嘅葡萄園之一；另外有0.76公頃喺歷史上備受重視嘅Auf dem Holzchen同Ober Schafershaus。

🧚If you ask for Rieslings that weave brightness, delicacy, and intricate complexity, Hofgut Falkenstein is our answer💘.
We’re thrilled to unveil their new 2024 vintage, a radiant collection again from our favourite Mosel producer. The Weber family—father Erich and son Johannes—stick to old-school winemaking, a rare art in the Saar. They farm 13 hectares in the Konz Valley organically—no herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, or additives. Their hands-on approach shines: hand-picking Riesling grapes at low ripeness for zesty acidity, gently pressing whole clusters, and letting must settle naturally overnight. Fermentation unfolds with wild yeasts in 1,000-liter Fuder casks and 500-liter Halbfuder barrels. No chamber filter presses here—they bottle straight from the gross lees, cask by cask, using the AP numbering system to highlight the distinct character shaped by the vessel, without pumping, racking, filtering, or added CO2.
The 2024 vintage faced tough moments. As the Webers shared with Mosel Fine Wines, “The three nights of frost on April 22, 23, and 24… and about twice as much rain as in the last 30 years” challenged their grit. Still, their careful vineyard work delivered pristine grapes with lively acidity and vibrant minerality. Despite a 20% yield reduction, the 2024s earned high praise from Mosel Fine Wines for their remarkable balance and “even more density and grip.”👏🏻
These wines come from some of Saar’s finest vineyards💫, with old vines growing in iron-rich gray slate and hints of quartz and quartzite sandstone. The Webers have the best part on the prime south-facing slope of Euchariusberg (also known as Großschock), one of the region’s top sites for growing grapes. Their holdings also include two distinguished parcels, totaling approximately 0.3 hectares, in the celebrated Ockfener Bockstein, often ranked alongside Scharzhofberg among the Saar’s most esteemed vineyards, as well as 0.76 hectares in the historically esteemed Auf dem Holzchen and Ober Schafershaus.
