2022 Riesling Trocken 'Bronzelack'

From the cooler western part of the Johannisberg, the 2022 Schloss Johannisberg Bronzelack Riesling Trocken is the "coolish-climate wine" from this prestigious domaine and represents the Taunus quartzite soil. Vinified 30% in traditional oak and bottled in May 2023, the wine opens with an elegant and precise flinty-scented bouquet with delicate sur lie aromas. Thanks to shadowed grapes in the afternoons, this dry Riesling is also a sharp and linear on the palate, with texture, good intensity and precise and vibrantly fresh acidity (eight grams per liter of total acidity). This is a classical, real coolish style of the 2022 vintage. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2023.
