Emrich-Schönleber’s Auf der Ley Riesling GG Versteigerung 2021 is a standout Grosses Gewächs from one of the Nahe’s most prized sites, offering the kind of precision and depth that collectors and Riesling lovers seek out. Crafted in a region celebrated for its mineral-driven whites, this auction bottling reflects both the pedigree of the vineyard and the estate’s long-standing reputation for producing some of Germany’s most refined Rieslings.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous yellow hue. The nose is layered and expressive, with ripe apple, citrus peel, and a delicate hint of honey, all framed by a distinctly mineral undertone. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, balancing ripe fruit with lively acidity and a long, saline, mineral finish. The structure suggests excellent aging potential, with the wine likely to gain even more depth and nuance over time.

Production
This wine comes from the Auf der Ley site in the Nahe, a vineyard known for its steep exposure and mineral-rich soils that lend Riesling both tension and elegance. The grapes are carefully harvested to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, and the wine is vinified to emphasize site expression, balance, and precision.

Food & Serving
This Riesling pairs beautifully with shellfish, sushi, roasted poultry, creamy seafood dishes, or refined Asian cuisine with a touch of spice. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C; decanting is usually not necessary, though a brief splash in the glass can help open the wine in its youth.

Producer
Emrich-Schönleber is one of the benchmark estates of the Nahe, known for producing world-class Rieslings with clarity, structure, and exceptional terroir expression. The family estate has earned a strong international following and numerous accolades for its top vineyard sites and consistently high-quality dry Rieslings.
