| “Father and son Werner and Frank Schönleber long ago climbed to very near the summit of German viticulture ...”
David Schildknecht, Vinous |
| | "'For me, 2021 is a classic German vintage. Today, of course, we think it's super, since years with racy acidity and moderate alcohol levels have become rare and we had already stopped believing we could harvest something like that again at all.'
The 2021 harvest began at the end of September for sparkling wines, followed by the Pinot varieties. The Riesling harvest began around October 10 and lasted until the first week of November. Shortly before Christmas, it was even possible to harvest ice wine in the Frühlingsplätzchen.
Once again, Schönleber shows that his Domaine — or the Nahe as a whole — can play the entire Riesling keyboard from dry to noble sweet. Along with the Mosel, the Nahe has been one of the most exciting areas for Riesling aficionados worldwide for years. That Schönleber's Grosses Gewächs are among the world's great white wines should now be well known.” Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate |
| | | ‣ "The vibrant white-peach, wild-herb and floral bouquet of this stunning GG makes a serious statement. Very compact and concentrated, it’s only just beginning to reveal its abundant treasures. Super-focused and precise, it grows and grows as it shoots over the palate at great speed. Incredible depth of wet-stone minerality at the super-long finish."

| ‣ "The 2021 Halenberg Riesling GG is coolish, fresh, pure, extraordinarily deep and complex on the ripe and concentrated yet precise nose that reveals notes of crushed stones and iodine. Powerful, rich and complex on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense and very intense Riesling with a concentrated fruit core and a firm (mineral) structure that holds and even uplifts this giant that a will develop into an iconic German Riesling over the years in the bottle. It is still tight and youthful but possibly the greatest Halenberg I have tasted in more than 20 years."

| | | | ‣ "Werner Schönleber served the 2021 Frühlingsplätzchen GG after the Halenberg, which has never been the case here in 20 years, but knowing Werner's passion for the purity and freshness of this terroir, this makes completely sense. I remember I liked the 2019 Frühlingsplätzchen better than the Halenberg when it was young, and also from the 2021 vintage I adore the purity, brightness and flinty finesse of the Frühlingsplätzchen which is definitely the brighter, uplifted and purer Riesling. The finish is enormously salty and savory and reveals lemon fruit bitters on the aftertaste. This is life from stone, and it has a damn serious, very long and saline finish."

| ‣ "Complex nose of pink and yellow grapefruit, peach and spring flowers. A super-elegant, dry Nahe riesling that marries plenty of juicy fruit with excellent concentration and vibrant minerality that leaps out at you. A slew of wild-berry and rose-hip character adds to the excitement at the dangerously crisp, wet-stone finish."
