Rheingau QbA Riesling Grünlack Spätlese 2023 Schloss Johannisberg

Riesling Grunlack Spätlese by Schloss Johannisberg is a German white wine made from 100% Riesling grapes from the Rheingau region. Produced in the vineyards of the Johannisberg castle, about 180 meters above sea level, it benefits from a unique terroir characterized by a soil rich in sand, slate, red clay and temperature variations that enhance the aromas of the grapes.

The vinification takes place mainly in steel, with a maceration on the skins for a few hours, while a small part of the must ferments in wooden barrels from the surrounding forests using indigenous yeasts. After fermentation, this wine ages for 5 months on the lees.

In the glass this wine presents itself with a light and bright straw yellow color. On the nose you can perceive notes of grapefruit, geranium and chamomile, accompanied by mineral and salty scents typical of the grape variety. On the palate it is fresh and vibrant, with a citrusy, tense and pleasantly persistent finish.

Perfect as an aperitif wine, it pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses such as Gorgonzola and refined desserts.
