Germany

Family operated since 1670, vines up to 100 years old, currently led by Eva Clüsserath. Riesling from 2 steep-sloped sites in middle Mosel. Slate, green fruit, delicate flowers, fresh herbs, apple, lime, dry finish. Native yeast fermentation.

Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and probably some other things. Biodynamic, unfiltered, lots of citrus, stone fruit, honey, & delicate dried flowers.

Monzingen is the most important wine village in the upper Nahe river valley; Emrich-Schönleber is one of the leading producers in the village & owns much of the vineyards. This shows ripe & juicy fruit balanced by a mineral core.

Racy, mouthwatering, a balance of fruit, acidity, and wet-stone minerality. Will mellow and flesh out with time in bottle, but it's a snappy little number in its youth.

This still Elbling is brisk, bright, minerally, citrus & acid-driven. Pairs well with salty and fatty, and makes for a great cheese fondue wine. Organic.
