Why shop with us?
Weingut Emrich-Schönleber’s 2024 Auf der Ley Großes Gewächs is a rare Nahe Riesling from one of the estate’s three signature terroirs. Although its parcel lies within Frühlingsplätzchen, Auf der Ley is recognised as a vineyard in its own right; this bottling is available exclusively through the annual VDP auction in Bad Kreuznach.
Tasting Notes
Auf der Ley is known for a cool, distinctly stony character that gives this Riesling a particularly precise, purist expression. The vineyard’s blue slate, quartzite and pebbles are reflected in the wine’s mineral profile, while its acidity and structure support impressive ageing potential. Specific tasting details for the 2024 vintage have not been provided.
Production
The Auf der Ley parcel sits within the Frühlingsplätzchen vineyard in Monzingen, but is registered as a separate site. Its soils are marked by blue slate, quartzite and small stones, and it is home to the estate’s oldest Riesling vines. Harvesting and vinification details for the 2024 vintage have not been provided.
Food & Serving
Serve with simply prepared seafood, shellfish, or delicate white fish, where the wine’s mineral character can shine; it should also suit poultry and refined vegetable dishes. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. If the wine seems reserved on opening, give it time in the glass or a brief, gentle decant.
Producer
Based in Monzingen in the Nahe, Weingut Emrich-Schönleber is known for interpreting distinctive local vineyard sites through Riesling. Alongside Auf der Ley, the estate’s signature terroirs include Frühlingsplätzchen and Halenberg. Its auction-only release makes this bottling an especially rare opportunity to experience that site-focused approach.
