Schloss Johannisberg, Riesling Auslese Rosalack Vintage:2019 A benchmark bottling that's aThe 2019 Riesling Auslese Rosalack shows an intense white golden color and offers a concentrated and spicy flinty stone fruit bouquet with coolish, crystalline terroir aromas. Dense and lush on the palate, this textured and generous Auslese develops good density and a sustainable finish. The acidity is fine and well integrated into rich and juicy fruit. Pretty sweet but also piquant. 8% alcohol. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in July 2021.
