    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    As the majority owner of this fabulous blue slate and quartzite vineyard, the Schönleber family has long teased out its finer elements. Lithe, high-toned tuned fruits; smooth citrus and verbena, some forest fruit, cool blue slate – the Halenberg is a little more reticent than its Frühlingsplätzchen sibling but is highly elegant, leading in to a grippier, grown-up finish. A model of subtlety and refinement.

    The 2021 Halenberg Riesling GG is coolish, fresh, pure, extraordinarily deep and complex on the ripe and concentrated yet precise nose that reveals notes of crushed stones and iodine. Powerful, rich and complex on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense and very intense Riesling with a concentrated fruit core and a firm (mineral) structure that holds and even uplifts this giant that a will develop into an iconic German Riesling over the years in the bottle. It is still tight and youthful but possibly the greatest Halenberg I have tasted in more than 20 years. Natural cork. 12.5% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.
