Scharzhofberger is one of the most famous vineyard sites in all of Germany. This south-facing site is situated at an elevation of 180-280 meters with vines planted on very steep slopes with mineral rich soils formed from grey devonian slate. These characteristics are reflected beautifully in the wine, as the 2016 Scharzhofberger Kabinett Riesling displays an incredible combination minerality and brightness. This continues to dazzle as it shows incredible purity and elegance, with captivating aromatics of sliced apples, lime, orange zest, white florals and crushed slate nuances which all come together beautifully in the glass. This is every bit as impressive on the palate as it shows remarkable focus and precision with outstanding overall balance as it leads up to the succulent, mouth watering finish. While the 2016 is absolutely sublime today, it should also have a brilliant future ahead and continue to drink beautifully for years to come. — 5 days ago

Unfortunately way, way too young. Would like to try this again in 5 and 10 years. At this point mostly primary aromas, but there is such elegance and finesse there. — 7 days ago

Like the Keller Von der Fels, we've got a GG-killer over here. According to Pinard de Picard, this is the second most sought after Riesling in Germany, after the VdF of course, and I can definitely see why. It's intense and concentrated, yet super fine. Aromas of tangerine, lemon drops, white flowers, smoke, wet stones, and nutmeg. The palate's a little more forgiving than previous encounters with Julian's wines. Nice fruit richness, but don't get me wrong, the acidity's still the trademark enamel-stripping kind. Really enjoyed this wine, but the best thing is it's price. Such great value! — 3 days ago

Took this a while to open up, but when it did a lovely cascade of sweet apple and orchard with a hint of cider bitterness at the end — 6 days ago

Tasted blind. Dark gold. Amazing perfume. Sweet, sharp, apricot, waxy bean, spice and honey. Rich in the mouth. Palate coating. Light acidity, short finish. Guessed 70s German. This was another rare treat from our host tonight. — 13 days ago

It's ridiculous how Grünhäus can always pack so much flavour in a wine, yet have it remain so light. Power of terrior if you ask me. Smoky, floral, yellow stone fruits, citrus zing, herbs, just pure electricity in the mouth. Long and fine finish. Another exemplary kabi from this legendary estate! — 3 days ago

This is a winner. Off dry, but hits that sweet spot between sweet fruit, mineral and acidity so beautifully. What a pleasant surprise! — a day ago

Fragrant and delicate, this is still surprisingly fresh for a 9 year old PN this light. Cherry juice, powdery high-toned rock dust, and a sweet hickory note on the nose. It’s leaner and drier in the mouth than the nose would suggest, but was excellent with my Chicken Dijon tonight. — 12 days ago
