Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage in the Rhein-Main-Neckar region has achieved an excellent maximum score of 95 points. The wines from this year are characterized by high quality, although the results within the region are described as irregular.

Feinherb means semi-dry. The wine therefore still has some residual sugar, in this case 15 grams per liter. This softens the acidity of the wine compared to the dry version. This winery is undoubtedly Germany's most prestigious estate and is immensely renowned for its Rieslings. It is, in fact, the oldest Riesling estate in the world.

The centuries-old history of Schloss Johannisberg

Wine has been grown at Schloss Johannisberg for 1200 years, exclusively Riesling since 1720. This is the birthplace of one of the oldest and most noble grape varieties in the world. Passion, responsibility, and pride stem from Schloss Johannisberg's long history of producing and inspiring others to produce an excellent Riesling. Rieslings are born in the vineyard—literally, where they have their roots. The soil, with its geological, geographical, and climatic characteristics, is an integral part of a wine's unique origins and ultimate flavor profile. Quality is achieved during the grapes' growth, which at Johannisberg is supported by organized vineyard management tailored to local conditions. The quality of the grapes is determined in the vineyard, not during vinification. The quality of the crop after harvest determines the quality of the finished wine. The typical soil composition is Taunus quartzite under a topsoil of loam. The grape, a quasi-spokesperson for the soil, expresses the entire influence on the taste of the finished wine. Riesling has been the only variety grown in the vineyard for almost 300 years. The soil and the grape, combined with the favorable climatic conditions and long winemaking tradition of Schloss Johannisberg, produce wines that reflect the inimitable character of their origins. In this way, Johannisberg is a magnificent monument to the diversity of Riesling, which found its true home in the vineyard surrounding the castle on the 50th parallel north. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently crushed. The must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a small amount (10 percent) fermented in wooden barrels. Maturation: After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees for five months.

The fresh and fine nose of Riesling Feinherb Gelblack

This Riesling is a golden yellow in the glass and is a medium-dry wine. The nose is pure and has delicate aromas of minerals and yellow fruit. The palate is fresh and juicy with fine acidity and beautiful aromas of ripe oranges and apricots. A delicious wine to enjoy on its own or with shellfish salads.
