Halgans Trocken Riesling 2014

Named after the cranes which migrate south annually and hover above these vineyards to catch the upward currents on warm afternoons. Previously named the #Halenberg #Riesling #trocken, this wine actually comes from a steep upper portion of the "#Halenberg" vineyard and tends to be very #mineral in character, due to the great amount of gray #slate in the soil. A pure, mineral, beautifully crafted dry Riesling. #EmrichSchönleber #Halgans #Riesling #trocken — 10 years ago

Derived from younger vines of the greater "#Halenberg"
vineyard and drinking perfectly after a couple of years in bottle!

Mineral Trocken Riesling 2013

The #2013 "#Mineral" from #EmrichSchönleber is an absolutely high-strung, vibrant wine that drinks well now but could still use a few more years in bottle to really fill out. If you like #dry, flinty whites with your shellfish, especially oysters, this is your wine! #Nahe #Riesling

Lenz Nahe Riesling 2013

#Riesling from our #Schönleber friends... off-dry but with such pronounced acidity profile the overall impression is much drier... #mineral notes abound...another crystal clear vibrant beauty! #EmrichSchönleber #2013 #Lenz #Nahe — 11 years ago

Approachable with only 3 years? Not had it, but would think it would be all tannins and graphite.

Yep! Certainly approachable & not much graphite. Quite balanced.

Halenberg GG Riesling 2014

Here's the Big Daddy of the #EmrichSchönleber estate and as one taster recently commented..."like liquid rocks" due to the high #slate content in the vineyard, which gives the wine its distinctive #mineral character. Again, this wine will benefit tremendously from not only further bottle aging, but also decanting or even double decanting prior to serving. #Halenberg #Riesling #GrossesGewächs #dry #trocken #Nahe

Grosses Gewächs Marienburg Rothenpfad Riesling 2011

This softer, more approachable 2011 #GrossesGewächs (#GG) needs advance #decanting in order to really express its enormous potential--layers of #tropical fruit notes and #mineral flavors abound--drinks now but has years of life ahead of it. #clemensbusch #riesling #Mosel — 10 years ago
