A little wild and spontaneous, but also very fresh with limes and lime zest and then floral notes. There’s no shortage of detail here. The palate hits as a blend of salt and grapefruit juice, with excellent mid-palate tension and some flesh. This is a very grown up Lenz, one that manages to be both taut, but also fleshy, restrained yet also buzzing with energy. Superb, a real success and one of the best of recent years. less painfully closed, more open and gregarious thank usual, but not at the expense of definition or persistence.
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.
