Before World Wars I and II, excellent dry wine was made in the Rheinhessen, but with postwar economic recovery and mass market consumerism came the debacle of liebfraumilch. This was overly sweet swill exported for some time until the 1980s when several winemakers, led by Weingut Keller, decided they could do much better. The elegant dry Riesling once again made a renaissance and is here to stay for good. Klaus Peter Keller and his family are at the absolute top when it comes to dry riesling from the Rheinhessen in Germany. They create a line of single cru wines from many limestone laiden vineyards there. With each vintage, they express the unique voices of each terroir, whether it be the entry level or the grand cuvee.

“If I had to choose one wine to show how great dry German Riesling can be I would choose a Keller Riesling. Those wines are the German Montrachets” – Jancis Robinson

Emrich-Schonleber, Riesling Fruhlingsplatzchen GG 2021

$105.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Riesling

Founder Stephen Bitterolf of Vom Boden once consumed a glass of 2004 Emrich-Schonleber Riesling GG which he felt may have inspired the beginning of his business. If that doesn’t convey the influence of these wines, there are other ways. They land in the same realm as Donnhoff and the Keller wines while remaining distinctly their own. The Schonleber wines are firm in their philosophy: “the wines offer true drinking pleasure, they’re honest, authentic, and unembellished, and lastly, a goal to produce wine with distinctive personalities.” The family forms a common core of thoughtfulness around the quality of the wine as each member participates in their own way. They aim to exceed the high expectations of their wines with each vintage while maintaining precision in the vineyard.

Everything that Weingut Knoll produces is on a cult level from their dry Rieslings and Gruners to their epic labels featuring St. Urban.

The wines are famously intense, mineral-forward and can age for years and years.

These Riesling vines come from the vineyards outside the village of Durstein in Wachau. The wine is done in the Smaragd style which is intense and full bodied.
