A textbook cool climate Riesling Cuvee grown at the 50th Parallel North. Created to celebrate the Rheingau, a unique region and the motherland of Riesling. The 50th degree of latitude runs right through the middle of this unique region, marking one of the northernmost borders of viable viticulture. In honor of this, the winemakers of Schloss Johannisberg estate have created a Riesling cuvee what one expects of a Rheingau Riesling.

The wine shows a brilliant, exceptionally pale straw colour with youthful green tinges on release, and exhibits pungent spicy blossom aromas, and hints of stone fruits enhanced by an underlying citrus vibrancy. A seamless palate follows, with initial flavours of passionfruit and lemon barley leading to a richer, spicy mid-palate with hints of pear, and finishing with classic mouth-watering citrus.

The wine has a pale straw colour in the glass. Opens with aromas of lifted spice, orange blossom and lime. On the palate there is huge volume of flavour with notes of grapefruit, lime and spice. There is a creaminess to the palate and exhibits great line and drive with crisp acidity on the finish.
