Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Orangelack Kabinett 2023: A Wine of Exceptional Quality
The Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Orangelack Kabinett is a limited production wine, crafted only in outstanding years. In 2023, alongside their core range offering, the Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Rotlack Kabinett, the winery selected the highest quality grapes to produce this exceptional Orangelack Kabinett. These hand-picked grapes were gently pressed using a basket press to preserve their purity.
Fermentation and Oak Influence
Fermentation took place entirely in stainless steel, a method that allows the wine to maintain its crispness and vibrant character. The wine then aged on its fine lees in 1,200-litre barrels made from the winery's own oak, imparting a subtle, rounding influence that enhances the wine's balance and body.
Tasting Notes and Character
The result is a wine with a perfect drinking flow, showcasing a harmonious contrast between vibrant acidity and delicate fruit sweetness. The subtle oak influence provides a touch of body and balance, while the wine's characteristic coolness and minerality complete the experience, offering a refreshing, complex profile. This 2023 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Orangelack Kabinett is a stunning example of precision winemaking, promising a delightful and elegant drinking experience.
