In 1985, Erich and Marita Weber began restoring the decaying Falksteinerhof winery in the Saar valley of Tälchen. Today, now joined in their work by their son Johannes, they craft some of the most soulful and quietly complex Riesling from their ancient vines.
The Webers personally work their vines by hand using organic methods, deviating only by avoiding the use of copper, as it is a toxic heavy metal. They do not use herbicides or fertilizers and avoid tilling for the most part. Yields are kept very low, naturally due to the vines’ ages and through pruning down to one flat cane per vine.
Some of their prize vineyard holdings include Niedermenniger Herrenberg, from which they source their Pinot Noir for their Spätburguner rosé and the Weissburgunder for their extraordinary Pet-Nat, Niedermenniger Sonnenberg, Krettnacher Altenberg, and Krettnacher Euchariusberg, home to some of their oldest vines.
