About This Wine


Schloss Johannisberg

Grünlack Spätlese Riesling

This is a wine that is rich and fragrant with a bewitching bouquet full of tangerines, stone, and spicy flint with lime blossoms. On the palate, it's lush with acidity that is perfect for the other flavors. There are hints of wild herbs that offer a tinge of something hard to describe, but what keeps you coming back is the balance. It's elegant and sensual while still being accessible.

The Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Spätlese Grünlack (Green Seal) is a rich and fragrant Spätlese medium-sweet style of Riesling, with an exotic bouquet of pineapple, passionfruit, and honeydew melon, complemented by ripe peach notes. On the palate, the initial sweetness and concentration of freshness is perfectly balanced by a juicy lemon acidity and long aftertaste.
