The US importer(Vom Boden) of Emrich-Schonleber claims that if not for drinking a bottle of his wine back in 2006, he may never have started his importing business; high praise indeed! Emrich-Schonleber is a benchmark producer for the Nahe, and many would argue, for all dry German Riesling because of its precision, complexity, and age-worthiness. This entry-level cuvée punches way above its weight class, showing perfect balance of ripeness and great acidity, just enough stone fruit with a stony mineral finish.
