Oldest Winery in the World

Fragant with ripe yellow fruit aromas. The wine is full-bodied and is really an all purpose wine which will highlight a great variety of dishes.

900 years of History, Schloss Johannisberg is the oldest Riesling- Estate in the world, with its first documented vintage dated back 817 and since 1720 only Riesling is cultivated on its monopole vineyard.

It is the home of the quality designations for German wine, especially for Spätlese, late harvest and botrytis rot wines that were discovered on the estate by mistake in 1775.

Since then Schloss johannisberg invented Auslese wines (1787) and Eiswein (1858) and the Quality levels in between for these wines styles where set at Schloss Johanniberg.

The wines are the most elegant of the Rheingau wines and are long lived gaining in balance and smoothness with age. 

Enjoy :)
