2023 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Rheingau Orangelack Kabinett

Schloss Johannisberg has its vineyards in the beautiful Rheingau. In general, the wines from the Rheingau are somewhat more refined and have character and a firmer taste than the wines from Rheinhessen and Rheinpfalz. One of the most beautiful wineries in the Rheingau is without a doubt Schloss Johannisberg. Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau is undoubtedly Germany's most prestigious winery and is world famous for its Rieslings. It is the oldest Riesling winery in the world. It has been produced there since 817 and since 1720 it has been 100% Riesling. The winery is centrally located in the area and has a rich history. Originally it was a monastery that was later used as a castle. It was even once owned by our royal family. The wines are the most elegant of the Rheingau area and gain in balance and suppleness as they age. In the magnificent wine cellar, a few bottles have been stored since 1748, so that a unique collection has now been created. Once every 25 years, the wines are tested and provided with new corks. And, it is assured, even the oldest white wines are still very drinkable! The 2023 Riesling Schloss Johannisberg Orangelack Kabinett is a new wine for the estate. The Riesling grapes were picked in the first week of harvest in the central part of the Johannisberg. As a point of difference to the Rotlack Kabinett, this one was pressed whole in a basket press and fermented in stainless steel, then matured for six months in wooden barrels on fine lees. Summer blossom and soft tangerine peel are absolutely aromatic and enchanting on the nose. Pure peach framed by ripe lemon - soft, aromatic, smooth and so fresh. A very seductive wine, it is light and ethereal, leading to a long finish. (Off-dry) FACT: In the Tab: Attachment you will find the official fact sheet of this beautiful wine.
