- Delicate floral aromas of white stone fruits, lime notes, green pears and a touch of minerality lead to a refreshing and cleansing palate. Classic and expressive dry Riesling. This is a Classic Rheingau expression, with delicate aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and pineapple. It is dry and beautifully balanced, with the fruity notes echoing on the palate through to a complex finish.
- Closure Natural Cork
The grapes were gently pressed, and 50% of the juice was vinified at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of the fruit, while 50% was fermented in 1,200-litre wooden casks. The oak comes from their own “Schloss Johannisberg” oak trees. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged on the fine lees for six months.

| 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 metres to 181 metres 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. |
