2021 Emrich-Schonleber - Monzinger Riesling Lenz (Halbtrocken)

From reddish colored, weathered slate soils, the 2021 Riesling Lenz is pure, fresh and mineral on the nose that reflects the quartzite elements of the terroir and gives some flinty spiciness. Lush and round on the palate, this is generous and salty-savory Riesling with sensual and charming fruit and a long, savory and saline finish. Fabulous even at this early stage. Natural cork. 11.5% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.
