Philosophy
Schloss Johannisberg is the most historically important Riesling estate in the world — continuously producing wine since 817 AD and the estate credited with discovering Spätlese (late harvest) winemaking in 1775. The estate's steep south-facing slope above the Rhine, with its unique loess and slate terroir, produces Riesling of distinctive floral elegance, mineral clarity, and the characteristic Johannisberg style: creamy, honeyed, and age-worthy. The Gelblack (yellow capsule) Riesling Spätlese and Rotlack Auslese are the estate's historic benchmarks.
Reputation
