Emrich-Schönleber Description
“Mineral” is sorta a legend – or maybe it’s just that it should be? Or it will be? Either way, this is both a “young-vine” selection from the Grand Cru sites – in this way it is very similar to Keller’s “von der Fels” – AND a curated blend to showcase the mind-blowingly diverse soil types of the Nahe. The point of this wine is to be a razor-blade / hammer of a wine – a slate-volcanic-rock-guillotine. And this it is. For purists, mineral-heads and acid-freaks, few wines overdeliver like this wine overdelivers.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2023 Riesling Mineral trocken comes from Monzingen, including the Niederberg's blue slate and quartzite. Lightness and citric verve are clear from the first sniff of stony, lemony brightness. The light palate has an inner zestiness with much grapefruit and tangerine alongside just a little pith. This is a serious and taut wine; it is super-slender but, oh, so zesty. This is an exquisite wine of a real Nahe character that punches above its weight. (Dry)
