A Grosses Gewächs from one of the steepest slate cliffs on the Rhine. Berg Schlossberg sits above Rüdesheim where the river bends sharply north, and its 65 percent slope of red slate and quartzite is held in place by ancient stone walls. The Ehrenfels parcel takes its name from the castle ruin that watches over the site, and Johannes Leitz farms it as a flagship dry Riesling within his stable of GGs. The 2021 vintage was cool and classical in the Rheingau — exactly the kind of year that makes Schlossberg sing, with electric acidity and a deeply salty, smoky minerality. Concentrated yellow stone fruit, white peach, lime pith, and that signature pulse of warm slate. A serious bottle that will reward years in the cellar.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Reach for richer fish — turbot with brown butter, scallops over leek fondue, miso-glazed sablefish. Also stellar with veal schnitzel, Alsatian choucroute, or aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Dry, concentrated, and shot through with salty slate minerality. White peach, yellow apple, lime pith, and crushed stone, with a smoky undercurrent and the laser-cut acidity of a cool Rheingau year. Built to deepen with cellar time.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
