Schloss Vollrads 'Schlossberg' Grosses Gewachs Rheingau Riesling

Why we love this tipple

“Introducing the 'Schlossberg' Grosses Gewächs Rheingau Riesling from Schloss Vollrads, a remarkable white wine that encapsulates the intense and distinctive character of Germany's Rheingau region. On the nose, this Riesling offers an intriguing bouquet, dominated by bold notes of kerosene and fresh rubber, intertwined with vibrant citrus elements. There’s a delightful complexity with hints of playdough, peaches, and white blossom, all rounded off by a subtle touch of dishcloth. The palate is where this wine truly comes alive. A tiny spritz on entry adds a refreshing lift, followed by an explosion of sour lime and granny smith apple flavors, underpinned by a trace of kerosene that echoes the nose. A hint of peach provides a soft counterbalance to the wine's super high acidity, creating a harmony that is both intense and delightful. The mouthfeel is creamy, adding depth to the wine's sharp citric profile. As you savour the finish, expect a long, citric, and creamy conclusion that is both refreshing and incredibly moreish. This 'Schlossberg' Grosses Gewächs is not just a wine; it’s an experience, showcasing the precision and craftsmanship that Schloss Vollrads is renowned for. Ideal for those who appreciate a Riesling with power and finesse, this is a bottle that will leave a lasting impression.”
