Winemaker Notes
Slightly reserved on attack with delicate peach, citrus, passion fruit, herbs and physalis. Very mineral and wonderful pure on palate, with long lingering flavors and soft acidity. Well balanced and integrated.

96James Suckling
This has striking purity on the nose with a very, very fresh, focused and fragrant nose with superb clarity of fine citrus fruit and crushed stones. The very dry palate (just north of 2 g per liter) has a succulent, smooth texture, plenty of grapefruit and a creamy finish. Drink or hold.
93Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Schloss Johannisberger Riesling Silberlack GG is intense and rich on the aromatic nose. Rich yet also finessed and vibrantly fresh on the palate, this is an energetic and lingering salty Riesling with a long and tensioned finish.
92Wine Spectator
Ripe, with peach, melon and beeswax aromas and flavors, followed by hints of spice and stone. There's ample flesh, balanced by vibrant acidity. Hints of cream emerge as this glides to a long aftertaste of melon and mineral. Drink now through 2028.
