2022 Emrich-Schonleber Monzinger Niederberg Riesling Trocken 1G, 750ml

This is one of my favorite wines in the lineup – dense with green citrus, green herbs and minerals. It is more coating and expansive, broader and fierce. It undeniably speaks of a cool place, even though there is a certain generosity, a mouth-watering quality to the stone and citrus fruit that gives it so much energy; that makes it such a joy to drink. To me, this is the perfect expression of the premier cru or 1G level – a bit more rustic than the grandiose GGs but very serious and thrilling. -vB
