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 — 8 years ago

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

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
