Tasting Notes

Rosa-Goldlack

2011 - Rosa-Goldlack Riesling Beerenauslese
It is an orgy in the nose with so much complexity and intensity and so many great flavors like raisins, nuts, mango, cherry, honey and some tropical flavors, you still taste the great mineralization and floral notes. On the palate a powerhouse, with lasting minerality, unbelievably dense, huge complexity. Hard to describe, a wicked one, hardly anything like it. 

Rosalack

2014 - Rosalack Riesling Auslese
Powerful fruity nose of exotic fruits like pineapple, mango and kiwi based on beautiful minerality, also apples, pear and sweet raspberries, slight vanilla. On the palate so creamy and smooth, perfectly balanced fruit-acidity mix, broad fruit basket with raspberries, kiwi and apples as main examples. Wicked wine! 

1989 - Rosalack Riesling Auslese
Wicked stuff. Contains everything we love with lots of honey, caramel and #chocolate flavors, still great acidity, fresh, great silkyness, stays forever and ever.

Grünlack

2017 - Grünlack Riesling Spätlese
As part of a tradition of centuries the 2017 comes elegant and juicy with many years of great aging ahead of it. The nose is a very nice combination of the typical exotic notes of pineapples and passion fruit, plus great pear and peach. On the palate great fruit-acidity-balance and beautiful minerality. Great stuff!

2015 - Grünlack Riesling Spätlese
The #spätlese #riesling #2015 from #schlossjohannisberg is a true pleasure ... Beautiful spicy slate-like minerality in the nose and on the palate, great fruit basket with peach and apricots, also mango and pineapple, slight black currant. So juicy, so well balanced, so good!

2014 - Grünlack Riesling Spätlese
A true classic! Just the perfect balance of great minerality, elegant acidity, lively fruit and some floral elements.

1999 - Grünlack Riesling Spätlese
In the nose yellow apples, pear, melon, honey, caramel, spicy minerality, on the palate smooth acidity, nuts, minerality with great spiciness, crystal clear, mineral finish with smooth acidity. So good!

Rotlack

2017 - Rotlack Riesling Kabinett
Beautiful yellow stone fruit nose with peach and yellow plums, also exotic notes and mandarin, herbal spiciness. On the palate smooth, well balanced acidity, great fruit-spices-combination.
