Schäfer-Fröhlich 2018 Monzinger Frülingsplätzchen GG Dry Gold Cap Riesling (Nahe)
Cellar Selection
Intensely smoky, spicy notes of crushed slate and sunbaked earth introduce this steely, muscular dry Riesling. Full bodied and voluminous on the palate, it's a silken, deeply textured white concentrated with zesty grapefruit, lime and lemon flavors. Deeply complex and bristling with energy, it's a wine that needs time to meld. Hold till 2024 at least. It should welcome cellaring well through 2040. Anna Lee C. Iijima
