The Emrich-Schönleber Halenberg Riesling -R- 2017 is a prestigious dry Riesling from Germany’s Nahe region, crafted by the Emrich-Schönleber estate from the Halenberg vineyard. This 2017 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe peach, lemon zest, and white flowers, with hints of wet stone and subtle spice. 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 wine reflects the slate-rich terroir of Nahe. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. With over five years of aging, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 7-10 years, developing richer, petrol-driven notes. This Halenberg Riesling is a collector’s gem, showcasing Emrich-Schönleber’s mastery of crafting iconic German whites with elegance and power.
