Schloss Johannisberg Silberlack Ries. Trocken GG 2020
' Schloss Johannisberg is a legendary winery and producer of some of the world's finest and most highly regarded Riesling wines, thanks to over 900 years of winemaking history. Silberlack (Silver Seal) is one of the finest dry white Rieslings in Germany. Grapes for the wine were handpicked from vineyards surrounding the Schloss itself where the soli is Taunus quartzite with an overlay of fertile loam and a layer of loess, as well as a small amount of iron dioxide, which gives the soil a reddish colour. Fermentation took place in 1,200 litre old oak barrels from Schloss Johannisberg oak, lasting for six weeks. The wine was then left on its fine yeast lees until bottling to add complexity and weight to the wine. Serve with fish, seafood, wild fowl & smoked Monkfish roasted in herbs, Mediterranean grilled vegetables or wild garlic gnocchi. '
Weingut Clemens Busch, Marienburg Riesling 'Fahrlay' GG 2023
Sourced from the Fahrlay parcel of the Pündericher Marienburg vineyard, Clemens Busch's Riesling Fahrlay is notable for its unique blue slate soil, which imparts a distinct minerality and vibrant acidity. Clemens and his wife Rita are a humble yet hugely respected duo, having built a cult following over the past 30 years for their incredibly precise, richly textured, and terroir-driven wines. In the world of Riesling, the Mosel is king, and their wines capture its essence like no other. The 2023 vintage offers a luminous character with floral notes, lively acidity, and remarkable aging potential. Produced biodynamically, and organically since 1984, it's a compelling choice for Riesling enthusiasts who appreciate a mineral-driven profile.
