LIMITED QUANTITIES : 24 bts max per order Schloss Johannisberg, a historic icon of the Rheingau region At the heart of the Rheingau , one of Germany's premier wine regions, lies Schloss Johannisberg, a historic estate with over 1,200 years of winemaking expertise. Since 1720, the property has been dedicated exclusively to producing fine Riesling. The vineyard is renowned for pioneering the first late harvest, a significant innovation that has shaped the course of German viticulture. Under the leadership of Stefan Doktor since 2008, a certified sommelier and graduate of the Austrian Wine and Spirits Academy, the estate continues to innovate while staying true to its roots. Each of Schloss Johannisberg’s wines is distinguished by the unique colour of its capsule, symbolising the estate’s commitment to producing exceptional wines. Orangelack, the essence of Kabinett Orangelack perfectly embodies the spirit of Kabinett, with Riesling grapes harvested at full ripeness, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and vibrant acidity while maintaining a low alcohol content. The orange capsule is a nod to the name of this cuvée. The 2023 Vintage The 2023 vintage marks the debut of this cuvée and is the hottest year ever recorded in Germany. Despite the extreme temperatures, these conditions allowed for optimal grape ripening, resulting in an extraordinary balance. The hand-harvested grapes were meticulously selected to ensure the outstanding quality of this first vintage. Tasting Notes: On the nose, there are stone fruits such as yellow plum, mirabelle, and white peach. Floral notes of orange blossom, lavender, sage, and a hint of anise round out the aromatic profile. On the palate, subtle notes of stone fruits and passion fruit shine through. There is a perfect, lively contrast between vibrant acidity, fruity sweetness, and direct freshness. A touch of minerality completes this 2023 Orangelack Kabinett.
