Lothar Kettern, Fio 2019 Riesling Falkenberg
Falkenberg is a cool site at the top of the Goldtröpfchen, advantageously protected from the worst of the modern heat by the woods above. It gives rise to a strikingly serene wine, that is simultaneously plush, tender and salty. You might think of this as a demure rendition of the Grosses Gewächs style.
