Schloss Johannisberg

Schloss Johannisberg, the birthplace of Riesling since 1720 in the Rheingau, records 300 years of continuous winemaking documentation. This historic estate produces a late-haruest Botrytis Riesling with 12% alcohol and 200 g/L residual sugar, a sweetness level 40% higher than the average German Spätlese. Tastings include panoramic Rhine Valley views, and annual production tops 150,000 bottles, 20,000 more than #8 Weingut Markus Molitor. The estate's cellar holds 9,000-liter oak casks, a volume 15% larger than #6 Dr. Loosen's, cementing its status as the benchmark for historic Riesling.
