"The 2020 Riesling Monzinger Halenberg R Grosses Gewächs spent 18 months in barrel and a further 30 months in bottle, with a release four years after harvest. Frank Schönleber says this is not a competitor to the GG but a different site interpretation. While the GGs go for precision and focus on the perfect harvest point at perfect health, R has an "old-school" vibe, where some overripeness and even a tiny portion of botrytis are welcome. Ethereal lift and ripeness set the tone on the nose, projecting sultana and beautifully heady chamomile tincture. The palate has rounded itself out and is svelte but flows with balm-like smoothness, forging its essence-like concentration through fruit and dried citrus peel, delving into stone, on and on. The 2020 is beautiful, old-school and absolutely delicious." —Anne Krebiehl MW

"The 2020 Halenberg GG is pure, precise and fresh on the nose that offers flinty notes of crushed stones, herbs and lemons. Crystalline, refined and juicy on the palate, this is a dense and intense, tightly structured and persistently salty Halenberg with fine tannins and great purity. Tasted from a bottle that was opened three days before, the bouquet is deep and intense but pure and salty with ripe lemon and crushed stone aromas. The palate is full, dense and tight, with serious tannin structure and lingering salinity. The combination of both wines is amazing and combines purity and freshness with complexity and elegance. The salty finish is the leitmotiv of all three versions. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in July 2021." —Stephan Reinhardt

"The nose has almost more spiritual than aromatic presence. On second inhalation some gentle notes of mineral, fruity but mainly herbal components can be found. On the palate there’s an injection of fresh spearmint which really cools the taste buds, before the mandatory mineral dust puts a more tactile touch on the finish. Fruit may not be most prominent, but it’s there with grapefruit piquancy and peach-stone holding the fort."

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
