"The complex nose of sliced pear, white peach and white currant with delicate floral notes pulls you into this very juicy and vibrant Spatlese that leaps and bounds over your palate, in spite of the frank natural grape sweetness. Then comes the radical minerality at the very focused, long and pristine finish. Drink or hold."
Composed of hand-harvested grapes from the single Schloss Johannisberg vineyard, an elegant and powerful Riesling with fresh notes of pineapple, green apple and sweet peach. Harmonious and beautifully structured, showcasing concentration and finesse.
