Silberlack Riesling Grosses Gewachs – Silver Seal

Schloss Johannisberg is a historic estate in the Rheingau region of Germany. It has exclusively grown Riesling grapes since 1720, and is thought to be the first estate in the world to have done so. The estate has a history of winegrowing that spans approximately 1200 years. In 1775, Schloss Johannisberg became the first to deliberately cultivate Spätlese grapes. Schloss Johannisberg sits on one of three quartzite hills southeast of the Taunus mountain range. The soils here are quartzite rich, which is well-suited to the Riesling that occupies the vineyards. 

This deep lemon yellow wine shows complex aromas of lemon zest and red apple, complemented by orange floral notes, herbs and a hint of tobacco. Concentrated and intense on the palate, with a mouthwatering acidity and a long, clean finish.
