Schloss Vollrads Schlossberg Riesling Trocken GG 2020

Country: Germany
Region and Appellation: Rheingau

Domaine Schloss Vollrads Schlossberg Riesling Trocken GG 2020 represents the pinnacle of Schloss Vollrads Riesling from this historic 800+ year-old Rheingau estate. This Grosses Gewächs sources 100% Riesling from the vineyard, where Taunus quartzite and loess soils create exceptional mineral-driven character. The wine undergoes extended maceration with partial fermentation on the skins, followed by long lees aging and fermentation/maturation primarily in large Austrian and German oak casks (1200L), building powerful structure with elegant integration. At 13% alcohol with just 1.5 g/l residual sugar and 7.2 g/l acidity, the 2020 delivers remarkable balance.

Powerful Yet Refined Expression

The nose reveals fine herbal notes and white stone fruit aromatics with impressive purity. Juicy and powerful, the palate delivers substantial length and drive, culminating in stimulating salinity that dances on the tongue. The oak provides superb backbone without overwhelming, creating a wine of both elegance and concentration.
