2014 Silberlack Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Schloss Johannisberg, Rheingau
Like a tightly coiled spring, this will need time to unwind – whilst the nose gives very little away at present the palate has impressive depth and structure. Opening on crystalline citrus and nectarine notes with perfect tension between ripe fruit and fresh acidity. Laser etched precision with notes of powdered rocks, sea spray and iodine – this is a hugely exciting wine with marvellous ageing potential.
