Emrich-Schönleber, Riesling Halenberg Grosses Gewachs, 2017

$139.00

Halenberg is one of the Nahe’s greatest Riesling vineyards, a steep, south-facing slope in Monzingen with blue slate and quartzite that gives the wine its tension, depth and salty mineral drive. Emrich-Schönleber farms these parcels with meticulous precision, harvesting in small passes and fermenting slowly to preserve the vineyard’s detail. Their Halenberg GG is consistently among the most sought-after dry Rieslings in Germany.

The 2017 vintage is powerful yet finely cut, showing grapefruit peel, white peach and herbal notes over a dense mineral core. The palate is concentrated and energetic with firm acidity and a long, slate-inflected finish that promises graceful evolution. This is a serious, cellar-worthy Grosses Gewächs from one of Germany’s most sought-after estates.

Varietal: Riesling
Appellation: Nahe, Germany
Vineyard: Monzinger Halenberg (Grosse Lage)
Style: White. Dry, structured and age-worthy
