The estate
Boasting a rich wine heritage that spans over a thousand years, Schloss Johannisberg is a must-know reference among fine German wines. Founded as a Benedictine monastery in the 12th century, the estate then entered a period of uncertainty due to Germany’s turbulent political and economic history over several centuries. Paradoxically, these challenges enabled Schloss Johannisberg to rise like a wine phoenix and come out in an even more glowing and prosperous manner: all the land was planted with Riesling, making the estate the first and one of the finest walled vineyards to comprise this variety in the world.
The estate watches over a 35-hectare vineyard located between 110 and 180 metres above sea level and on sloping plots.
The vineyard
The Riesling Grünlack Spätlese 2021 is a Rheingau wine that stems from a vineyard planted on quartz and clay soils.
The blend
Riesling (100%).
The tasting
Nose
The nose is very fine and combines fruity fragrances (white peach, mirabelle plum, jasmine) with notes of flint and crushed stones.
Palate
Crystalline and refined, the palate is seduced by this wine’s precision which weaves into a finish that superbly combines freshness and salinity.
Food and wine pairing
Riesling Grünlack Spätlese 2021 will pair with a tarte tatin, Thai curry or red fruits served with mascarpone.
Service
For an optimal tasting experience, serve between 7 and 9 degrees.
