James Suckling, 96 Points 

"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." 

Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"The 2021 Schloss Johannisberg Grünlack Riesling Spätlese is a pure, piquant and intensely aromatic yet refreshing and bright Rheingau classic from the bottom of the slope, even though the wine has an alpine character. On the palate, this is a pretty sweet yet piquant, precise and lush Spätlese with a cleansing and stimulating, saline and salivating finish. 8% stated alcohol with 89 grams per liter of residual sugar." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Brilliant light yellow with some green reflections. Aromas of white peach, fresh pineapple, green apple, nettle and sorrel. Well balanced on the palate with soft acidity, lovely sweetness and long citrus aftertaste." 

Alcohol: 8%
