Schloss Johannisberg, Gelblack Riesling Trocken, 2020
The 2020 Schloss Johannisberg Gelblack Riesling Trocken is a fresh and balanced vintage, often cited as one of the best Gelblack expressions. Critics like Ulrich Sautter have awarded it 90+ Falstaff points in 2021.
On the nose, expect a delightful bouquet of white flowers, grinded lemon, and pears, alongside notes of peach, ripe apricot, and grapefruit. Some tasters also detect a hint of gasoline, wet stone, star fruit, and ginger, adding complexity. The palate is firm and fresh, with crisp acidity, offering a round and warm feel with spicy and herbal notes of white pepper. It's a dry, high-acid wine with a medium body and a medium-plus finish.
Food pairing suggestions include salads, roasted chicken, seafood, and light appetizers. It's also versatile with cheese, ham, tapas, and fried fish starters.
This Riesling is perfect for enjoying on warm days, making it an excellent aperitif with friends and nuts, or a versatile choice for a New Year's Eve dinner party or a family Christmas gathering.
【Great value for money and a fresh crowdpleaser】
