This Spätlese is crafted from organically grown, hand-harvested grapes from the single Schloss Johannisberg vineyard. It opens with a clear, intense, aromatic, savory, and flinty bouquet of tropical fruits intertwined with slatey, savory, and saline notes. On the palate, it is rich and lush yet fine and elegant, offering flavors of pineapple, green apple, sweet peach, tangerine, apricot, lemon, and kumquat. It beautifully balances juicy tropical and stone fruit flavors with a streak of minerality and mouthwatering acidity, leading to a long, refined, and wonderfully expressive finish with breathtaking leafy freshness and stony clarity. With 8.9g/L acidity and 76g/L residual sweetness, it's a lovely high-wire act of purity, luminosity, and lightness. 🍴 Food Pairing: This lush and balanced dessert wine pairs perfectly with fruit-based desserts. Its elegance and sweetness also make it a delightful accompaniment to foie gras, blue cheeses, or lighter, fruit-driven pastries. 🥂 Event Suggestions: The 2022 Schloss Johannisberg Grünlack Riesling Spätlese is perfect for special occasions, celebratory dinners, or as a luxurious after-dinner treat. It's a wine to savor and appreciate for its complexity and exceptional quality, suitable for gifting to a connoisseur or enjoying at a sophisticated gathering.
