Schloss Johannisberg has its vineyards in the beautiful Rheingau. In general, the wines from the Rheingau are a bit more refined and with character and sturdier taste than the wines from Rheinhessen and Rheinpfalz. One of the most beautiful wineries in the Rheingau is without a doubt Schloss Johannisberg. Johannisberg Castle in the Rheingau is undoubtedly Germany's most prestigious winery and the world renowned for its Rieslings. It is the oldest Riesling winery in the world. Production 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 once owned by our royal family. The wines are the most elegant in the Rheingau area and gain in balance and flexibility as they age. Since 1748, a few bottles have been kept in the beautiful wine cellar, so that a unique collection has been created. Once every 25 years the wines are inspected and fitted with new corks. And, it is assured, even the oldest white wines are still very drinkable!

The Schloss Johannisberger Gelblack is fermented in 1,200 liter barrels from its own oak trees. This riesling is very concentrated but very clear with a slightly smoky bouquet of yellow fruit. It is a very aromatic, fresh and elegant Riesling with a great purity. In the glass, this riesling has a golden yellow color with a young, fruity nose with peaches, apricots and pineapples. The wine is certainly nice to drink but will refine over the years and is certainly perfect to drink until 2028.
