Schloss Johannisberg Gelblack Riesling trocken 2025

The Gelblack is a dry introduction to the world of Schloss Johannisberg?and in 2025, it is particularly crisp and lively. The grapes come from the Schloss vineyard, which features Taunus quartzite, clay, and loess. After hand-harvesting and gentle pressing, 80% of the Riesling ferments in stainless steel and 20% in 1,200-liter barrels made from the estate's own oak. The nose reveals ripe mirabelle plums, grapefruit zest, white flowers, and delicate herbs. On the palate, notes of cool peach and a hint of pineapple emerge. The lively acidity adds tension, while a delicate fruit sweetness provides balance. A precise, juicy Rheingau Riesling with a mineral edge and excellent drinkability.
