2022 Emrich-Schönleber Riesling Frühtau Monzinger
Description
WINEMAKER: Frank Schönleber
REGION: Nahe, GER
VARIETY: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
A remarkable wine – baby GG as I call it - declassified fruit from Frülingspatzchen GG (red slate). Earlier picked fruit and young vines. "“What a beautifully cool nose of yellow fruits and flint this very impressive 2022 dry Riesling has! Excellent structure on the medium-bodied palate, then the whiplash acidity strikes at the super-racy finish, and either you’re strong enough for this dangerously energetic wine or you’re not! Drink or hold.” 94 Points, James Suckling
A great Nahe estate that was started by Werner Schönleber in the 1960s with just two hectares. Today the estate comprises 14 hectares, mainly Riesling, on the slate and quartzite soils of the Halenberg and Frühlingsplatzchen vineyards. Intense vineyard work and spontaneous fermentation in old oak casks together with ageing in steel vat conspire to produce intense, long lived Nahe Riesling that combines floral, charming qualitites with intense minerality. For the last five years, this estate has been perfoming to is maximum, rivalling Germany’s very greatest producers.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
