Description from the seller
BLACK FRIDAY! The ULTIMATE Connoisseur’s Choice: A Pristine Case of Schloss Johannisberg 2010 Riesling Spätlese Grünlack with NO RESERVE PRICE!
We are proud to present for auction a rare and exceptional offering: a pristine six-bottle case of 2010 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Spätlese Grünlack, one of the most iconic expressions of German Riesling from a legendary estate and eternal vintage!
This exclusive lot comes directly from the winery, acquired through a personal connection with Stefan Doktor, CEO of Schloss Johannisberg and my elementary school colleague. The bottles have been stored in original winery wrapping paper, housed in the original wooden case, and maintained under professional cellar conditions with controlled temperature and humidity. The bottles are in flawless condition, featuring pristine labels, high fill levels, and intact capsules.
The Eternal Vintage: 2010
The 2010 vintage is celebrated as one of the most distinctive and age-worthy in German wine history. Marked by low yields, cool growing conditions, and exceptionally high acidity, the wines from this year possess remarkable tension, purity, and longevity. For Riesling, especially Spätlese, 2010 delivered wines of laser-like precision, vibrant citrus energy, and crystalline structure—ideal for long-term aging and collectors seeking wines with backbone and finesse.
Critical Acclaim and Awards
The 2010 Schloss Johannisberg Grünlack Riesling Spätlese has received consistent praise:
- 90.4 points average from CellarTracker users
- Described as having ripe peach, pear, pineapple, and vanilla notes, balanced by medium to high acidity
- Recognized for its botrytis complexity, mineral depth, and long citrus-driven finish
- Included in top Riesling selections by critics such as Jancis Robinson and James Suckling in similar vintages
Schloss Johannisberg: A Legacy of Innovation and Excellence
Located in the heart of the Rheingau, Schloss Johannisberg is one of the world’s most historic wine estates. With over 1,200 years of winemaking tradition, it became the first Riesling-only vineyard in the world in 1720. The estate is also credited with the accidental discovery of Spätlese in 1775, a milestone that revolutionized German viticulture and led to the development of the Prädikatswein classification system.
VDP Membership and Classification
Schloss Johannisberg is a proud member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Germany’s elite association of top wine estates. VDP membership signifies:
- Strict quality standards exceeding national wine laws
- Low yields, hand harvesting, and terroir-driven winemaking
- Use of the VDP eagle logo on capsules as a mark of authenticity and excellence
- Classification based on origin, with VDP.Grosse Lage representing the highest quality vineyards
Internal Wine Classification: The Grünlack Seal
Schloss Johannisberg uses a historic color-coded system to classify its wines, predating and inspiring the official German wine classification of 1971. The Grünlack (Green Seal) is reserved for their finest Spätlese wines, denoting exceptional balance, fruit concentration, and aging potential. It has been part of the estate’s portfolio since the original Spätlese discovery in 1775.

The 2010 Grünlack Spätlese offers:
Color: Brilliant pale yellow with green reflections

Palate: Harmonious sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, with a long, elegant finish
