Here it is! One of the two #EmrichSchönleber #GrossesGewächs wines we released this month. A wine of tremendous finesse and complexity that is the more feminine in style of this fantastic winery's two main sites. The 2014s are very nicely structured and so crystal clear. They will benefit greatly from further bottle age and decanting prior to serving. #Frühlingsplätzchen #Riesling #GG #trocken #dry #Nahe — 9 years ago

A sheer delight, loaded with mineral notes and beautifully focussed with bright, clean acidity... drink now with decanting or hold it for 2-3 years longer. #emrichschönleber #frühlingsplätzchen #trocken #riesling #2013 — 9 years ago

#Frühlingsplätzchen means a "little spring place" and are amongst the most elegant examples of #Nahe #Riesling...this stunning 2000 #Eiswein *** was amongst the finest late harvest #wines of the entire vintage--AWESOME! — 10 years ago

Huge fruit! Lighter-bodied than one might expect of an #Auslese *** - elegant, balanced, stunning. #EmrichSchönleber just doesn't disappoint. #2003 #Frühlingsplätzchen #Riesling #Auction — 9 years ago

In any given year, we are spoiled many times over by the amazing treasures we are blessed to able to experience, but every now and then we open an older bottle that flattens us. This was one on them:
Deep amber, reddish hue with a mind-blowing aroma of apricot/caramel extract, aged apple blossom honey, baked nectarine and pineapple...intensely concentrated...supported by a fine core of bright acidity. As near perfection as any wine could ever hope to be...is there another grape varietal on earth that could yield such a wine at forty years of age from a half bottle??? #emrichschönleber

Next to the more opulent #ClemensBusch #Falkenlay this gorgeous #Frühlingsplätzchen seemed restrained and almost shy like the cute little girl at the party that no one asks to dance.
Make no mistake...this is a real "Sleeping Beauty"! #EmrichSchönleber #2012 #grossegewächs #Riesling #Nahe — 9 years ago

Let us not forget that this noble #Nahe estate also lays claim to the production of fantastic fruity wines too... Sourced entirely from the #Frühlingsplätzchen vineyard, it truly says "SPRING" with every sip... classic summertime easy-drinking #Riesling. PROST! #EmrichSchönleber #Monzingen #kabinett #2013 — 9 years ago

What an amazing estate that can produce such sensational dry #wine yet still come up with some of Germany's most perfectly balanced fruity-style, classic #Rieslings as well--I could have downed the whole bottle myself--couldn't get enough!!! #GermanWineSociety — 10 years ago
