Monzinger, Riesling, Fruhtau,

An enticingly floral nose tends toward iris and gentian; and the silken palate similarly features billowing bittersweet, musky inner-mouth perfume. At the same time, there are aromatic intimations of fresh apple and white peach, which subsequently translate into infectious juiciness, while suggestions of clover and grasses serve for subtle counterpoint and mineral salts for saliva-inducement in a lusciously-sustained finish. (This is effectively the second wine to Schönlebers’ Frühlingsplätzchen Grosses Gewächs, as explained in further detail in my review of its inaugural, vintage 2015 installment).
