Emrich-Schönleber

If there were, as the Romans often claimed, a primus inter pares in every discipline, the first among equals on the Nahe would have to be Werner Schonleber. Helmut Donnhoff is the established leader and Tim Frohlich the rising star, but this estate is often without peer over the width and depth of its portfolio, from dry and off-dry to the sublime beerenauslese of the 2011 range. True to the red slate of his Fruhlingsplatzchen and blue slate in the Halenberg site, Schonleber crafts rieslings of breathtaking character year after year. Four were in my various "top ten" lists this year and there is nary a wine he made that I would not enjoy having in my cellar. Also recommended: 2011 Weisser Burgunder Trocken (86), 2011 Grauer Burgunder "S" (88), 2011 Riesling Trocken (86), 2011 Riesling Trocken Mineral (88), 2011 Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Trocken (90), 2011 Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Trocken (91), 2011 Monzinger Riesling Trocken "A de L" (92), 2011 Riesling Lenz (85), 2011 Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Rutsch Riesling Spatlese (92+?), 2011 Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Riesling Auslese (92).
