Germany, Rheingau
Riesling
Description
pale golden yellow. In the nose exotic fruits of orange peel, pineapple, passion fruit and lime. Ripe, red apple underlaid with minerality rounds off the aromas. On the palate the Spätlese is juicy with a perfectly ballanced. The fruits are reflected on the tongue with a slightly creamy note.

Vineyard: Schloss Johannisberg
The totally south-facing vineyard is steep as 45° and climbs from 114 m to 181m above sea level. The forest on top of the Taunus protects the vineyards from cold winds from the North and in the South the Rhine lays like a lake in front of the estate on the foothills. The 50° parallel runs directly through the vineyard and the unique soil formation with Taunusquarzit topped with loam and rich loss is perfect for mineral Rieslings keeps water and temperature very well
Food Pairing
An ideal accompaniment to fruity desserts with a slight sweetness such as an apple pie or matured Manchego cheese, Appenzeller served with fig mustard.
