The Emrich-Schönleber Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling G.G. 2019 is a flagship dry Riesling from Germany’s Nahe region, crafted by the Emrich-Schönleber estate from the Frühlingsplätzchen vineyard. This 2019 vintage displays a bright gold hue and an intense nose of ripe apricot, lemon zest, and white flowers, with hints of petrol and wet stone. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a mineral-driven core, and a long, elegant finish with a touch of honeyed complexity. Fermented and aged in large German oak casks, this Grosses Gewächs reflects the slate-rich terroir of Nahe. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. Rated highly by critics, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 10-15 years, developing richer, petrol-driven notes. This Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling is a collector’s gem, embodying Emrich-Schönleber’s reputation for crafting iconic German whites with elegance and power.
