This is a true dry Riesling for folks who don't think they like Riesling. Slightly exotic nose, crushed volcanic rock, petrol, white peach. Racy, lean palate of salinity and mouth-tingling acidity. Bursting with character that will pair with food beautifully. A must try.
Not sure if you like Riesling because the ones you’ve had in the past were too sweet? Well, you really should give today’s wine a try, it will definitely open your mind to Riesling. Jakob Schneider Trocken Riesling 2022 is a dynamite example of DRY Riesling, that’s right, dry. No cloyingly sweet fruit here. This racy, mineral-driven, divine nectar of the gods will have you loving Riesling in no time!
The Schneider family has been making wine in the Nahe village of Niederhausen since 1575. Today the winery is run by Jakob Schneider Jr. who took over after graduating from Geisenheim and interning at Knoll in Austria’s Wachau. His wife Laura, sister Monika, and mother Liesel, all manage different parts of the estate.
Over 52 different soil types can be found here, mostly based on volcanic rock and slate. Working as closely as possible to nature in the vineyards, the Schneiders use humus in their very steep vineyards to help absorb and retain water, as well as straw and hay to prevent erosion. Schneider’s wines maintain an old-world charm while showcasing a stalwart minerality only derived from the amazing terroirs from which they have.
The Melaphyr trocken, is named for a rare type of volcanic rock found in the estate parcels used for this bottling. Without getting too scientific, this is a "porphyritic igneous rock" / Mesozoic basalt. It’s one of the volcanic soils the central Nahe contains, and it can provide aromas of soursop, lemon-balm, violets and ginger.
