Johannisberg Castle Domain

Schloss Johannisberg is one of Germany's most famous wineries and is considered the cradle of Riesling. Located in the Rheingau region, it looks back on over a thousand years of winemaking history. Riesling cultivation became commonplace here as early as the 18th century, making Schloss Johannisberg a pioneer of this grape variety. The winery is particularly well-known for the discovery of the Spätlese (late harvest), which was due to a delayed grape delivery and revealed the importance of noble rot for noble sweet wines. Today, Schloss Johannisberg produces first-class Rieslings in various Prädikat categories, from dry to noble sweet rarities. The winery's vineyards benefit from an optimal combination of Taunus quartzite, loess, and an ideal microclimate that favors grape development. In addition to its winemaking tradition, Schloss Johannisberg also impresses with its impressive architecture and historical significance, reflected in the baroque palace complex with its famous Bibliotheca subterranea. The winery is a symbol of German wine culture and attracts wine lovers from all over the world every year.
