Schloss Johannisberg

Dense on the nose, still somewhat closed and delicately lactic, with aeration herbal-spicy notes such as sesame, sage, lemon balm and yellow fruit such as ripe apple and dried pear appear. Precisely controlled on the palate, underpinned with drive, but not too powerful, always accompanied by minerality.

A great masterpiece of flinty minerality and fascinating mirabelle-plum aromas that has impressive concentration, but even more elegance. Still a baby, but already delicious on the very sophisticated, medium-bodied palate. Enormous power and precision at the super-long finish. Bottled late June 2025 after 20 months on the full lees in 1,200-liter oak casks. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink from release, but this has decades of aging potential.
