2022 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Rheingau Goldlack Trocken

The 2022 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Rheingau Goldlack Trocken is a benchmark dry Riesling from one of Germany’s most historic estates. Known for its precision, elegance, and unmistakable Rheingau character, it combines bright fruit with a refined mineral backbone and the kind of clarity that has made Schloss Johannisberg a reference point for Riesling for centuries.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale straw colour with greenish reflections, highlighting its youth and freshness. The nose is lifted and expressive, with notes of citrus, green apple, white peach, and delicate floral tones, often joined by a subtle slate-like minerality. On the palate, it is dry, vibrant, and finely structured, with crisp acidity carrying flavours of lime, orchard fruit, and a touch of stone fruit through a long, clean finish. While already enjoyable for its energy and precision, this style of Riesling also has excellent aging potential and will gain depth and complexity over time.

Production
Produced in the Rheingau, where steep vineyards and the moderating influence of the Rhine create ideal conditions for Riesling, this wine reflects a classic cool-climate terroir. Schloss Johannisberg is especially associated with careful vineyard work and selective harvesting, allowing the grapes to reach optimal ripeness while preserving freshness. Vinification is aimed at expressing purity, balance, and the vineyard’s natural mineral character, resulting in a dry Riesling with finesse and definition.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent partner for seafood, shellfish, sushi, light poultry dishes, and refined vegetarian cuisine, especially dishes with herbs or subtle spice. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to best showcase its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is usually not necessary, though a short airing in the glass can help the wine open up if enjoyed young.
