Note di degustazione
This aged in a single stück and was foreseen to become part of the dry GG, but it stopped fermenting early at 65 grams per liter of residual sugar. The 2022 Schloss Johannisberg Grünlack Riesling Spätlese Fass 364 opens with a clear, intense and generous, deep and mineral bouquet with flinty nuances and the notes of crushed stones and quartzite. Much less reductive than the generic Spätlese (rather the opposite in the case), this is actually a bit oxidative, just like a Loire Chenin Molleux. Rich and refined on the palate, this is a mouth-filling, saline and finely tannic Spätlese that is a classical German Spätlese type with great reduction, savoriness and sharp acidity but with the complexity of a great terroir. The standard Spätlese might be immediately more attractive, but the Fass 364 is a vin de terroir that has other functions, for example, waiting for a menu in 10+ years. It's a serious wine with great aging capacity. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2023.

The nose of this Spatlese makes me think of 18th century engravings of pear and white peach varieties, but that only hints at the enveloping and astonishingly fine fruit that follows on the palate. A masterpiece of finesse, precision and balance, but even that doesn’t say the most important thing, which is the breathtaking leafy freshness and stony clarity at the stunningly long finish. When will it ever stop? From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The 2022 Schloss Johannisberg Grünlack Riesling Spätlese opens with a clear, intense, aromatic, savory and flinty bouquet of tropical fruits intertwined with almost slatey, in any case, savory and saline notes. It is perfectly ripe and super precise and irresistible. Rich and lush but fine and elegant on the palate, this is another highlight of the 2022 vintage in the Rheingau. It is incredibly savory, lush and saline. You can't stop swallowing this beauty and picture-book Spätlese. It is mouthwatering without end. This is a fabulous wine of great precision and piquancy! 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2023. 40,000 bottles produced.
