The wine region of Johannisberg

Historic village of the Rheingau (between Winkel and Geisenheim), worldwide birthplace of Riesling: Schloss Johannisberg was the first vineyard entirely planted with Riesling (~1720) and the first to vinify Spätlese in 1775. Riesling is the exclusive signature white: dry and mineral with citrus, white peach, apple, white flowers and a typical petrol note, vibrant acidity and slate depth. Four VDP Grosse Lage (Schloss Johannisberger, Klaus, Hölle, Mittelhölle).


The wine region of Rheingau

Historic cradle of great German Riesling: age-worthy whites of rare precision, from taut dry (Trocken) to botrytised sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, TBA) with notes of peach, citrus, acacia honey, noble petrol and slatey minerality. Riesling king on ~80% of the vineyard. Also Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, 8%), notably the fine, silky Assmannshausen. 3,100 ha on south-facing slopes overlooking the Rhine (Hesse).

The word of the wine: Delicate
