Tasting notes
The intensely yellow golden-colored 2017 Schloss Johannisberg Silberlack Riesling Trocken GG opens with an intense yet pure, saline and elegant bouquet. Elegant, finessed and rather filigreed on the palate, with lots of salt and tension, this is a concentrated and expressive Riesling with huge aging potential. It's a great Schloss Johannisberger. Natural cork. Tasted in Kiedrich, August 2025.

Very fine and elegant, with the most delicate peachy aromas, this has so much finesse and more than enough concentration to demand your attention. Very long finish. Drink or hold.
Just a tad yeasty still. When that has gone what will remain is an animated charmer, with plenty of stone fruit, a deft touch of hay and herb garden and a subtle finish of almond kernel. Most pleasant. (MS)
