Emrich-Schönleber Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling GG 2016, from Germany’s Nahe, is a 100% Riesling from the Frühlingsplätzchen vineyard’s slate and loess soils. The bouquet unveils a vibrant array of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, layered with wet slate and flinty minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, bone-dry with vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a pronounced mineral core, with a refined, lingering finish. Fermented spontaneously and aged in neutral oak, it reflects Emrich-Schönleber’s artisanal precision. The 2016 vintage, known for its intensity, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, ideal for pairing with seafood, light salads, or creamy cheeses. Its concentrated fruit and mineral structure make it a collector’s treasure, showcasing Frühlingsplätzchen’s unique terroir. With excellent aging potential, this Grosses Gewächs offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Nahe’s slate-driven viticulture.
