Wine Description:
The Schloss Johannisberg Rheingau Riesling Trocken Bronze Seal 2022 embodies the essence of a classic dry Riesling from one of Germany’s most renowned wine regions – Rheingau. Crafted entirely from Riesling grapes, this wine offers a sophisticated and refreshing drinking experience.
On the nose, the wine opens with delicate floral aromas of white stone fruits, including hints of lime and green pear, complemented by a subtle minerality that evokes the region's terroir. These aromas seamlessly transition onto the palate, where the wine delivers a bright and cleansing experience. The dryness of this Riesling is perfectly balanced by its lively acidity, which makes each sip feel invigorating and crisp. The mid-palate is dominated by flavours of lemon zest, green apple, and pineapple, all harmonising in an elegant, expressive finish.
This wine is a true representation of the Rheingau region, known for its expressive dry Rieslings with a clean, fresh character and excellent aging potential.

Winery | The grapes come from the single vineyard of Schloss Johannisberg. The south-facing vineyard is steep, with a 45° gradient and is situated between 114 metres to 181 metres above sea level. The forest on the top of the Taunus Mountains protects the vineyard from cold winds from the north. To the south, the River Rhine gently flows in front of the estate, in the foothills of the vineyard. The 50° parallel runs directly through the vineyard, and the unique soils of Taunus quartz, topped with loam and rich loess, retain moisture and heat, encouraging the vines to ripen. This soil formation imparts the classic mineral characteristic evident in this wine. The vineyard is cultivated manually, and the harvest takes place by hand. |
