Tasting Notes
Schloss Johannisberg Silberlack Trocken 2022. Schloss Johannisberg's Silberlack Grosses Gewächs is from their 'Grand Cru' sites. The grapes are hand picked and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in large oak barrels, made from the castle's own oak with subsequent maturing on the fine lees until bottling. This is a multi-layered wine with aromas of pink grapefruit, lime and pomelo, floral with orange blossom and violets, a hint of sage, spicy with fresh nutmeg and smoky quartzite. Consistently dry, taut with pressure on the palate, salty minerality with lively acidity. Concentrated, gripping structure and smoothly complex.
