Emrich-Schönleber - Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 2015 - 0,375 l

Emrich-Schönleber’s 2015 Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is an exceptionally rare and concentrated sweet wine from one of the Nahe’s most celebrated vineyards. Made from individually selected, botrytis-affected Riesling berries that have naturally shrivelled on the vine, it combines remarkable richness with the vibrant acidity for which the Nahe is known. Presented in a half bottle, it is an elegant choice for immediate enjoyment or long-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a luminous golden colour, deepening with age. Its intense bouquet reveals candied citrus, ripe peach, apricot and tropical fruit, complemented by honey, saffron, sweet spices and subtle botrytis complexity. On the palate, it is opulent and highly concentrated, with luscious sweetness balanced by refreshing Riesling acidity. A long, persistent finish leaves notes of dried fruit, citrus peel and honey. With its balance and concentration, this 2015 Trockenbeerenauslese has outstanding ageing potential and can develop gracefully for several decades when properly stored.

Production
The grapes come from the steep Monzinger Halenberg, a prestigious Nahe site characterised by poor, rocky soils and a cool, breezy microclimate that help preserve Riesling’s acidity and aromatic precision. For a Trockenbeerenauslese, only individually selected berries affected by noble rot and naturally shrivelled on the vine are used, resulting in exceptionally low yields and intense flavour. Harvesting is carried out by hand in multiple passes, followed by gentle vinification designed to preserve the wine’s balance between concentrated sweetness, purity and acidity.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Its richness makes it an excellent match for foie gras, pâté, blue cheese and mature hard cheeses, while its acidity also complements fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée and tarte tatin. It can be enjoyed without decanting; if opened young, a brief period of aeration in the glass will allow its layered aromas to unfold. Once opened, the wine can often be enjoyed over several days when kept refrigerated.
