Today we have sensational Riesling from Germany - perhaps the best white grape variety of all.

The Emrich-Schönleber 2018 Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs is not a wine for power drinkers, but it is very complex. The wine has apricot, peach, blossoms, some nutmeg, with air also gummy bears, only medium body, freshness thanks to the acidity, but balanced, and is mineral and complex. The wine is still very youthful. This is a great success for a hot vintage. 18.3/20 points.

The C. von Schubert'sche Schlosskellerei 2016 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs is a very mineral and masculine wine with dark slate, nutmeg, medium to full body, balance and light residual sweetness. The wine is juicy and long. 18/20 points.

The Peter Jakob Kühn 2015 Riesling Schlehdorn is a sensational wine, but atypical for a Riesling. The wine has honey, powdered sugar, ichtiol, full body, residual sweetness and is dense, very mineral, precise and long. A wine for power drinkers. 19/20 points.
