Tasting notes
The 2013 Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling GG is ripe, fresh and flinty on the crunchy and concentrated, lemon-scented nose. Round and piquant on the concentrated and tensioned palate, this is a tight, pure and salty-mineral but also pretty austere 2013 that is still very young and a potential classic. Keep it! Tasted in July 2019.

Ripe, rich and yeasty on the nose, Schönleber's 2013 Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a very ripe, rich, and intense wine with a juicy palate and citric/mineral aftertaste. Quite powerful and monolithic in the mouth it needs at least 3 or 4 years to develop its true character. Slightly dry in the aftertaste at the moment of tasting, so give it some years to age in bottle.
Dense and racy – real lift and masses of minerals and dry uncompromising serious dry wine character! But it needs time. (JR)
