Schloss Johannisberg has its vineyards in the beautiful Rheingau. In general, the wines from the Rheingau are even more refined, with character and firmer in taste than the wines from Rheinhessen and Rheinpfalz. One of the most beautiful wineries in the Rheingau is without a doubt Schloss Johannisberg. Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau is undoubtedly Germany's most prestigious wine estate and world renowned for its Rieslings. It is the oldest Riesling winery in the world. It has been made since 817 and since 1720 100% Riesling has been produced. The winery is centrally located in the area and has a rich history. Originally it was a monastery that was later used as a castle. It was even once owned by our royal family. The wines are the most elegant of the Rheingau area and gain in balance and suppleness as they age. Since 1748, a few bottles have been kept in the beautiful wine cellar, so that a unique collection has now been built up. Once every 25 years, the wines are inspected and provided with new corks. And, it is assured, even the oldest white wines are still very drinkable!
