Riesling (Spätlese)

This is Riesling royalty. From the legendary Schloss Johannisberg — the birthplace of Spätlese — the ‘Green Seal’ delivers luscious ripe peach, apricot, lime zest, and delicate florals, all balanced by an electric acidity. Sweet, yes, but with a shimmer of minerality and a finish that just won’t quit.

Serve it chilled with spicy Thai, Peking duck, or a strong blue cheese — it’s a total flavour matchmaker. Or sip it solo on a quiet evening and let it unfold slowly. Rich, racy, and deeply satisfying — a textbook example of how fine German Riesling can be.
