Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Emrich Schönleber, Fruhlingsplatzchen, Riesling, Eiswein, 2021

Now this really is something very special indeed. Ten years since the last Eiswein was produced here, we are delighted to have a few cases of 2021 to offer. Frank painted the most evocative picture of the team huddled around the press, waiting for the first golden droplets to fall, Gluhwein in hands, singing Christmas Carols. Truly a wonderful image which captures the essence of this magical drink. Gloriously bold and laced with fresh pineapple, limes and grapefruit, freshly cut mango and a neverending finish. Picked on 22nd December this was quite the Christmas present. The perfect Eiswein has no botrytis and the whole cluster is fully frozen. Bottled at an amazing 6.5% ABV with a residual sugar level of 260g/l.

Emrich Schönleber

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.
