Emrich-Schonleber - Riesling Halgans Trocken 2020

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

This is the earlier picking/younger-vine selection from the Grand Cru Halenberg. For those of you twisted enough to understand German wine law and the VDP, this would be the estate’s “Spätlese Trocken” if they were allowed to label it as such. As with the Grand Cru, the wine is powerful and dense, supremely mineral and forceful. As with the “Frühtau” it is also not a wine to underestimate. This is a wine that one can cellar and with 5-10+ years it shows the depth of its material.

This is at once powerful and compact, but sleek and enormously energetic. The palate is packed with wet stone minerality, the finish so long and invigorating. - Stuart Piggott

"The aromatic constellation offers up a beautifully refined blend of pear, pink grapefruit, wild yeasts, slate, gentle smokiness, white flowers and a touch of menthol in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, seamless and full-bodied, with a snappy girdle of acidity, excellent focus and grip, lovely complexity and a very long, poised and complex finish. Great juice."-John Gilman
