Made entirely from \u003cstrong\u003eRiesling\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it offers an elegant and distinctly mineral flavour profile.

These vineyards are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003eslate soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological feature that imparts a clear \u003cstrong\u003emineral imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e to the wine.

This is followed by five months of ageing in stainless steel, ideal for maintaining the clarity of the fruity aromas. The process concludes with \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, a stage that perfectly harmonises freshness and savouriness. This meticulous cellar work ensures the wine has excellent \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing it to evolve elegantly for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the splendid Venosta Valley, Falkenstein Riesling Alte Rebe comes from the estate's most historic plot, where the \u003cstrong\u003eoldest vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, around 30-35 years old, sink their roots into slate-rich soils.
