Prince Metternich, Riesling, Schloss Johannisberg, Rheingau QbA, Germany 2023
Rheingau, Germany
Tasting Notes
This if the first estate release in 10 years and is 100% Riesling looking to epitomise a 'Rheingau RIesling-RR' meaning dry but well-balanced, light and juicy, charming and finessed with a good amount of intensity and grip. The terroir is quartzite, slate and clay soils from steep slopes and fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. "An enjoyable fruity-floral RIesling with the grape's signature note of rubber band, complemented by a touch of grape juice, ripe orange and fleshy peach as well as a firm, fresh acid on the finish, making this gently sweet wine a mouth-watering drink".
