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 (99)Very cool and reserved at the front, but this is an enormously deep and complex wine that has staggering mineral intensity. The lime and oolong-tea freshness effortlessly swallows up the unfermented grape sweetness, as if it didn’t really exist. Some will criticize, saying that this is too radical, but that’s what creates the great excitement! The herbal freshness at the finish is really astounding. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. |

James Suckling (97)This is like staring into a deep chasm, yet the discreet mirabelle fruit gives that austere, bone-dry style enough charm to make it really compelling. Enormous crushed-rock minerality, with delicate spice and just a hint of oak on the compact yet sleek palate. This is an uncompromising expression of the Rheingau’s “back to the roots” movement that reveals its greatness at the extremely long and precise finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. |
