Good to have seen this next to the SF (NB: The two producers share many of the same vineyards). For me, this was the weaker expression of Frühlingsplätzchen, although still very good. Sweeter and more exotic fruit profile than the SF, the Schönleber's interpretation of this site flexes more power. Nevertheless, it manages to remains very harmonious and juicy with the laser beam acidity. Pineapple, unripe mango, peach, smoke, and cream aromas. Intense on the palate with good grip. Finishes salty and exotic. It's incredibly satisfying to drink but loses out to the SF in terms of elegance and refinement.

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

Tons of minerality- wet river rock, jasmine and honeysuckle on the nose.

Like all the #Riesling from #Schönleber tonight, this sleek, mineral bomb came right out of their cellars and its freshness was exciting!

A generous troken given the vintage. I remember walking this steep, red slate site with Franck.
