2021 Schloss Johannisberg Silberlack Riesling Grosses Gewachs 750ml

Experience the intellectual depth and flinty precision of the 2021 Schloss Johannisberg "Silberlack" Riesling Grosses Gewächs at VS Liquor. As the first Riesling estate in the world, Schloss Johannisberg holds a legendary status in the Rheingau, and the "Silberlack" (Silver Seal) represents their dry masterpiece. The vsliquor.com website features this 750ml selection, classified as Grosses Gewächs (GG)—the German equivalent of a Grand Cru. Sourced from the estate's finest south-facing quartzite and loam slopes, the 2021 vintage captures a "back to the roots" movement, emphasizing a lean, uncompromising structural power. Fermented and aged for several months in 1,200-liter oak "Stückfass" casks made from wood from the estate's own forest, this wine strikes a breathtaking balance between high-toned fruit and massive crushed-rock minerality.

Whether you are seeking a prestigious 4-year anniversary gift for a 2025 milestone or a world-class collectible (97 Points, James Suckling; 94-95 Points, Falstaff) to pair with king crab, roasted sea bass, or truffle-crusted veal, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 13% ABV icon of German viticulture brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant pale gold with silver reflections. The bouquet is sophisticated and restrained, offering aromas of mirabelle plum, grapefruit, and fresh pineapple, underpinned by a distinct smoky quartzite minerality. On the palate, it is sleek and concentrated, delivering layers of white peach and ginger supported by a mouthwatering acidity and a laser-like mineral finish that resonates for minutes.
