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.

James Suckling (95)The combination of cool, peachy aroma and flintiness makes the nose of this wine totally ravishing. Then, the brilliant minerality on the sleek and sharply focused palate adds another compelling argument for the greatness of this wine. Love the very long, crystalline finish. Drink or hold. |

James Suckling (100)Tasting this makes me feel like Goethe is just about to walk in the door! Self-confidently old-fashioned in the way that a 1920s Bentley car or an 1820s Breguet pocket watch is. Yes, you can analyze and note that there’s an oxidative side to it, but the combination of creaminess and silky bone-dryness is like nothing else I can think of. And below the waterline of direct perception is a gigantic structure that drives the mind-blowing finish! Matured for 30 months in neutral wooden casks. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. |

James Suckling (98)Very complex, golden-mirabelle and licorice nose with a lot of flinty complexity. Stunning concentration for the sleek body, but this is still so tightly wound. Ravishing finish, in spite of its noble austerity. Enormous aging potential. Drink or hold. |
