The 2020 Riesling Trocken Gelblack comes in with stunning 13% alcohol and opens with a clear and pretty intense and warm yet elegant bouquet of ripe fruits intertwined with some crystalline notes. Full-bodied and powerful on the palate yet also fresh and piquant, this is more than an easy aperitif but less than a rich and complex Schloss Johannisberger. It is somewhere in between and comes across with fresh and vivacious acidity, which might be a bit too nervy for the solemn texture. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in July 2021.
