Schloss Johannisberg
About Schloss Johannisberg
The legendary Schloss Johannisberg is one of Germany’s, if not the world’s, most historic estates. Planted solely with Riesling grapes in 1720 by order of the Roman Emperor Charlemagne, it is most likely the world’s oldest Riesling estate. In 1775, it was at Schloss Johannisberg that the Spätlese method was discovered using late picked grapes. Following this discovery, in 1787 the estate gave Auslese, Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese to the wine world using grapes suffering from noble rot.

The ageing of Riesling in large, old oak casks for several years, was a style with a great tradition at Schloss Johannisberg hundreds of years ago. It was revived in 2017 and this now stands as the absolute pinnacle of Trocken wines produced. Made in tiny quantities and only in outstanding vintages, no scores or reviews yet available for the 2018 – what is sure is that these bottles will be long gone by the time the critics get to review them.
