Craftsmanship at Its Best: Traditional Winemaking Methods
The grapes for this wine were carefully handpicked at their peak ripeness, ensuring that only the finest fruit was used. Once harvested, the grapes were gently pressed as whole clusters, a method that preserves the purity of the fruit.
To capture the true expression of the grape and the unique terroir of Schloss Johannisberg, 85% of the wine underwent a slow, natural fermentation with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The remaining 15% was fermented in 1,200-litre wooden barrels made from oak sourced directly from the estate, a traditional practice that adds depth and complexity to the wine.
The result is a wine that authentically reflects its origins, with subtle oak nuances complementing the bright fruit character.

| Winery | The grapes come from the single vineyard of Schloss Johannisberg. The south-facing vineyard is steep, with a 45° gradient, and is situated between 114 meters to 181 meters above sea level. The forest on the top of the Taunus Mountains protects the vineyard from cold winds from the north. To the south, the River Rhine gently flows in front of the estate, in the foothills of the vineyard. The 50° parallel runs directly through the vineyard, and the unique soils of Taunus quartz, topped with loam and rich loess, retain moisture and heat, encouraging the vines to ripen. This soil formation imparts the classic mineral characteristic evident in this wine. The vineyard is cultivated manually, and the harvest takes place by hand. The legendary Schloss Johannisberg is steeped in history. The vineyards were planted on the orders of the Roman Emperor Charlemagne. Planted solely with Riesling grapes in 1720, Schloss Johannisberg was the world's first Riesling Estate and plays a significant part in wine history. It was here in 1775 that the Spätlese quality was discovered using late-picked grapes suffering from "noble rot". Following this discovery, in 1787, the estate gave Auslese, Beerenauslese, and Trockenbeerenauslese to the wine world. Schloss Johannisberg is a single vineyard designation in its own right and one of a handful of German vineyards that do not have to display a village name on the label. |
