Prinz Salm Johannisberg Wallhausen Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2014

Prinz Salm Johannisberg Wallhausen Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2014 is a superb example of how a top-tier Riesling can gain depth and nuance without losing its vibrant edge. Sourced from one of Prinz Salm’s finest sites in Wallhausen, this Grosses Gewächs combines ripe fruit, striking minerality, and refined precision in a style that speaks clearly of both place and producer.

Tasting Notes
Now with nearly a decade of bottle age, the wine shows a beautiful golden-pale hue and a layered aromatic profile. The nose unfolds with candied lemon, white flowers, flint, and subtle hints of honey and beeswax, while the palate balances mature citrus fruit with a firm, racy acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. What makes this vintage especially compelling is the way its youthful energy has evolved into complexity, yet the wine remains focused and alive. It has the structure and concentration to continue aging gracefully for many years, gaining even more depth and tertiary character over time.

Production
The grapes come from Wallhausen’s distinctive red slate and limestone soils, which lend the wine both tension and mineral nuance. The fruit is carefully hand-harvested, then spontaneously fermented and matured for an extended period on fine lees in stainless steel, a method that preserves freshness while allowing the vineyard character to shine through.

Food & Serving
This Riesling is a natural match for rich seafood, shellfish, roasted poultry, Asian dishes with a touch of spice, or classic pork preparations with fruit and herbs. Serve it chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a brief decant if you want to open up its aromatic layers after cellar aging.
