Sourced from the historic slopes of Schloss Johannisberg, it delivers all the exotic fruit and gentle sweetness you’d expect from the style, lifted by the electric acidity that makes great German Riesling so captivating. Organic farming adds another layer of purity and precision to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of white peach, ripe pear, pineapple and citrus blossom leap from the glass.
