WINE DESCRIPTION
50° Degree Riesling is a dry syle of Riesling and the entry level offering from an historic Rheingau producer, Schloss Johannisberg. The fruit is picked early to maintain freshness and a lime and apple fruit profile. The fermentation is slow and cool to retain as much youthful fruit flavor as possible. The wine is unadorned with oak and release early for immediate drinking. It vibrant freshness makes it a great glass of wine on its own whilst the smallest of traces of residual sweetness make the wine well suited to spciy dishes like Thai and Indian.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The pale green colour gives way to an aromatic nose of lime blossom, green apple and lemon.The palate is dry on account of the vibrant acidity, with a crisp texture light body and a subtle slatey mineral finish. This is a versatile, and lower alcohol, wine to keep in the fridge door for mid-week drinking with a range of dishes. Drink within 5 years.
