Note di degustazione
From a 0.7 ha plot. This opens out all on the end. There is massive concentration and mineral endeavour. It's bone dry and throbs on the finish then opens out like a peacock's tail. Pungent but mainly stone compote. Chiselled – rock face in a bottle? (JR)

A highlight of the vintage is Frank Schönleber's 2019 Auf der Ley GG that will be auctioned. It is beautifully reductive and pure on the nose, displaying an intense but refined and elegant mirabelle aroma intertwined with flinty notes of crushed slate. Intense and juicy on the palate yet with the piquancy and pervasive salinity of crushed rocks, the Auf der Ley is a kind of hybrid of the Halenberg (richness, ripeness and power) and the Frühlingslätzchen (purity, grip, finesse and salinity). The richness of the Auf der Ley is so delicate and its finesse so substantial that this enormously long and concentrated (Auslese trocken) Riesling from perfectly ripe and healthy grapes can compete with the finest Kellerbergs or even Unendlichs from FX (Lucas) Pichler in the Wachau or any great Riesling from planet wine. Tasted as a sample in May 2020.
