As noted previously, many Rheingau estates are holding back their GG’s an extra year before release, so this set is entirely from 2020.
Prinz VON HESSEN
2020 (Johannisberg) Klaus Riesling GG
Salty, spicy nose and mouth; medium-weight, good intensity and concentration. A fine effort from this producer who has large been off my radar screen. 93/A
JOHANNISHOF
2020 (Johannisberg) Hölle Riesling GG
Light in weight, not terribly intense, but lots of finesse here to go with light white fruits. Still, this is one of the less impressive wines I know from what is one of my favorite Rheingau estates. 88/B-
August KESSELER
2020 (Lorchhausen) Seligmacher Riesling GG
Pear and quince fruit in a medium-light body. 91/A-
SCHLOSS JOHANNISBERG
2020 (Johannisberg) Schloss Johannisberg Riesling GG
Mineral nose and mouth, salinity, purity; perhaps slightly lacking in the intensity and concentration of a still greater wine. 93(+)/A
Geheimrat J. WEGELER — Gutshaus RHEINGAU
2020 (Geisenheim) Rothenberg Riesling GG
Light in weight, some minerality, some penetration. 90(+)/B+
