Weingut Emrich-Schonleber Monzinger Riesling Kabinett, Nahe, Germany 2022 Gérard Raphet Dark ripe cherry and blackWhile Emrich Schnleber is most famous for their dry wines, their Prdikat wines are rare birds that are simultaneously ripe and juicy, even sometimes a flash exotic, while also having a prominent mineral core and, dare I say it, restraint. They are, as the dry wines are, impeccably centered and refreshing.
