Purpurlack

Rheingau Riesling

The Schloss Johannisberg Purpurlack is a delightful Riesling from the esteemed Rheingau region. This white wine showcases a harmonious balance of body, acidity, fruit intensity, tannins, and dryness. With its pale straw color, the wine offers a tantalizing aroma of ripe fruits and floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant acidity that enlivens the taste buds, complemented by a luscious fruit intensity that highlights the Riesling grape's natural characteristics. The tannins are gentle, adding structure without overpowering the wine, while the dryness in the finish leaves a refreshing and crisp sensation. Schloss Johannisberg Purpurlack is a true representation of the elegance and finesse that Rheingau Rieslings are known for.

Germany

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
