Schloss Johannisberg Silberlack Riesling GG 2021 750ml

The 2021 Schloss Johannisberg Silberlack Riesling Trocken GG is deep and intense on the rich nose with herbal nuances. The wine is generous, dense and intense yet elegant and complex on the palate, very saline and still a little drying on the very young and oaky but promising finish. This is a stunning 2021. Natural cork. Tasted in Kiedrich, August 2025.

Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany’s ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very ‘terroir expressive’ varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of ‘fine’ white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
