The 2021 Emrich-Schönleber Monzinger Niederberg Riesling comes from one of the top estates in the Nahe region, known for its diverse soil types and dynamic wines. The Niederberg vineyard, with its higher and flatter exposition, is considered one of the cooler sites, potentially benefiting from a warming climate. The 2021 vintage is described as dense with green citrus, green herbs, and minerals, offering a more coating and expansive, broader, and fierce character. It undeniably speaks of a cool place, yet possesses a certain generosity and a mouth-watering quality to its stone and citrus fruit, giving it immense energy. This wine is a tightly wound spring, precise and cutting, with more citrus compared to other sites. It is dry and racy, with citrus peel, stony spice, high acidity, and a grippy, textured finish. The Wine Advocate notes it as savory and intense with round but tart grapefruit notes, very precise and nicely bitter on the finish, a pure, straight, and linear dry Riesling that is still very young but promises to be another great Schönleber wine with age. 【Emrich-Schönleber is one of the top estates of the Nahe, and indeed all of Germany, known for producing perfectly balanced wines between opulence and cut.】 Food pairing suggestions include trout with brown butter, pork schnitzel, Dungeness crab, or good sushi. Its textural grip also makes it screaming for food, clinging to whatever you are eating. This wine is ideal for a sophisticated meal, a wine tasting event focused on German Rieslings, or for collectors looking for a wine with significant aging potential. It's a versatile choice that can be enjoyed now for its youthful vibrancy or cellared for future enjoyment.
