Wine Critic Reviews
The 2019 Schloss Johannisberger Riesling Spätlese Grünlack is coolish, intense yet subtle, fresh and elegant on the nose, and the fruit is still discreet and free of botrytis. Sweet and clear on the palate, this is a pure, fresh, elegant and tightly structured Spätlese with stimulating salinity on the persistent and grippy finish. Still far too young to be served today but promising. Tasted in June 2020.

This pair was partnered by a 2019 Schloss Johannisberger Riesling Spätlese Grünlack, from the historic Rheingau estate. It is clearly very primal on the nose, offering fragrant scents of pineapple, quince and a light Muscat-like aroma. The palate is well balanced with a fine spine of acidity, not overly complex yet texturally satisfying. There’s good substance on the finish and melon and tinned white peaches on the aftertaste. This is a wine I would cellar away for three or four years.
