2023 Emrich-Schönleber Auf der Ley Riesling Großes Gewächs

The 2023 Riesling Monzinger Auf der Ley Grosses Gewächs unites slate and citrus on a spare, almost austere nose. More air even intensifies that idea of stone and lemon. The palate echoes this with even more exactitude and precision, with the practiced, confident steps of a seasoned acrobat walking on a tightrope of steel. Wonderfully spare and beautifully unreliant on frills, this is Riesling brought to its essential nature, beautiful and lasting. Available at auction: 500 bottles, 90 magnums, 12 double-magnums. (Bone-dry)
