93 Punkte | 2024 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG GELBLACK TROCKEN

The striking nose of lemon and peach coulis pulls you into this cool and elegant, but also well-structu­red dry riesling. Very long finish, in which the racy acidity is al­ready beautifully in­tegrated. From orga­nically grown grapes with Fair‘n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

93 Punkte | 2024 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG GELBLACK FEINHERB

Expansive yet fine­ly nuanced nose of Amalfi lemon and fresh pineapple with just a touch of mini-banana. At once jui­cy and elegant on the rather dry, medium-bodied pa­late, it wraps itself around you and caresses the parts other entry-level wi­nes never reach! Glides away at the finish. From organi­cally grown grapes with Fair‘n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

95 Punkte | 2024 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG ROTLACK KABINETT

This wine sits on the knife edge of light- to medium-bodied, but what a fascinating edge that is! A wealth of summer-flower aromas leads you into an abundance of pomegranate, red-berry and blood-orange flavors, the wet stone minerality energizing all of this. Super-vibrant finish with so much citru­sy freshness. From organically grown grapes with Fair‘n Green certification. Drink or hold.

95 Punkte | 2024 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG BRONZELACK KABINETT

What fantastic aro­mas of apricots and rose hips! Great ele­gance on the light­bodied yet concen­trated palate, where the minerality gives it a breathtaking vibrancy that makes the finish a waterfall of wet-stone and Amalfi-lemon cha­racter! From organically grown grapes with Fair‘n Green certifi­cation. Drink or hold.

97 Punkte | 2024 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG ORANGELACK KABINETT

This spectacular wine breaks the mold for this category, unifying lightness, succulence and great concentration. Yes, orange in the wide spectrum of aromas and flavors, along with apricot and papaya. Fantastic purity at the super-long and brilliant finish. From the eastern side of the hill of Schloss Johannisberg. Fermented in stainless steel, then matured in a 2,400-liter oak cask. From organically grown grapes with Fair‘n Green certification. Drink or hold.

98 Punkte | 2023 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG SILBERLACK GG

A great masterpiece of flinty minerality and fascinating mirabelle-plum aromas that has impressive concentration, but even more elegance. Still a baby, but already delicious on the very sophisticated, medium-bodied palate. Enormous power and precision at the super-long finish. Bottled late June 2025 after 20 months on the full lees in 1,200-liter oak casks. From organically grown grapes with Fair‘n Green certification. Drink from release, but this has decades of aging potential.

98 Punkte | 2024 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG GRÜNLACK SPÄTLESE

The clouds open and a ray of sunlight lands on you as this elixir, in which the beauty of ripe peaches is exact­ly matched by the freshness of garden herbs, like the two si­des of the one-sided mobius strip. Enormous depth, freshness and com­plexity at the perfectly balanced finish. Great aging potential, but how could you resist this now? From organically grown grapes with  Fair‘n Green certifica­tion. Drink or hold.

99 Punkte | 2022 SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG GOLDLACK TROCKEN

For a vintage that was so challenging, because it was so hot and so dry, this has an amazing, flinty vitality and su­per-dense apricot, apricotskin and mi­rabelle-plum flavors on the very focused, medium-bodied pa­late. Then a huge wave of stone mine­rality hits you but, af­ter it has passed, the finish is as still as a mountain lake. From organi­cally grown grapes with Fair‘n Green certification. Almost limitless aging po­tential. Drink from release.
