The 2021 Schloss Johannisberg Gelblack Riesling Trocken offers a clear, intense and quite complex, very elegant bouquet with flinty, leafy and nuanced ripe, white fruit aromas intermingled with earthy tones. Lush, round and very elegant on the palate, this is a supple, mouth-filling and textured Riesling with a long and intense, stunningly well-structured finish. An impressive estate wine that was aged for four months on the lees. Very good and persistent finish. Excellent. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
Amazing quality for an entry-level wine from a challenging vintage. Although this is only just beginning to open up, the delicate stone-fruit aromas are already enticing. Excellent ripeness on the wonderfully generous and creamy palate, then almost seamless harmony at the long, silky finish.
