Here as you'd expect there's far more influence of smoke, slate and salt on the nose before the rich complex citrus notes appear. Finger lime and ripe yellow grapefruit are followed by a wall of hard slate, complex stones, confit lemon and ripe yet fresh stone fruits. Paradoxically bold yet lightweight, firm yet floating - this is a brilliant baby GG that at most estates would qualify for the status of Grand Cru.
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.
