The 2017 Schloss Johannisberger Riesling Feinherb Gelblack is pure and delicate on the clear, bright and slightly flinty/quartzite nose. The attack is racy-piquant, but the mid-palate is lush, juicy and well-structured, leading to a salty-piquant and linear finish with a charming touch of sweetness or roundness. This is what many expect from a Rheingau classic. The finish is salty-piquant and reveals nice grip.
