Emrich Schonleber Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Auslese 2013

The 2013 Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling Auslese has a clear, discreet and noble bouquet delivering the typical aromas of wet red slate and spring flowers along with perfect pineapple, lemon, candied lime peel and grapefruit aromas. The wine (at 8% of alcohol) is very elegant and minerally piquant on the palate such that the sweetness is extremely well hidden or is perceptible more as ripe fruits. This is an excellent, extremely stimulating and delicate Auslese with just one problem: the bottle is far too small for one person alone.

This shows a concentrated aroma and flavors of ripe apple, pear, kiwifruit and gooseberry that are well-crafted and feature a savory vibrancy. Lithe on the finish, with plenty of freshness and crispness. Drink now through 2036. 250 cases made.
