The 2023 Auf der Ley Riesling Großes Gewächs Auction Wine from Emrich-Schönleber is an extremely rare, premium Riesling from one of the most exciting parcels in the Nahe region. The steep, barren slate and quartzite vineyards of Auf der Ley produce wines of exceptional precision, depth, and mineral radiance. The 2023 auction wine displays an impressive combination of purist elegance, cool stone fruit, and distinctive saltiness. The nose unfolds a dense interplay of aromas of lime zest, white peach, green apricot, and crushed rock, accompanied by subtle herbal notes and smoky minerality. On the palate, the wine is incredibly focused and profound, with a razor-sharp acidity structure and a taut, almost electrifying arc of tension. The long, salty-mineral finish underscores the immense precision and exceptional aging potential of this auction GG. A Riesling of uncompromising clarity and structure that will continue to evolve over decades – a true monument of the Nahe region.
