Description
Schloss Johannisberg has its vineyards in the beautiful Rheingau. In general, the wines from the Rheingau are somewhat more refined and have character and a firmer 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 winery and is world famous for its Rieslings. It is the oldest Riesling winery in the world. It has been produced since 817 and since 1720 it has been 100% Riesling. 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. In the magnificent wine cellar, a few bottles have been stored since 1748, so that a unique collection has now been created. Once every 25 years, the wines are tested and provided with new corks. And, it is assured, even the oldest white wines are still very drinkable!
The 2023 Riesling Schloss Johannisberg Bronzelack is made from grapes from cooler plots on the Johannisberg slope, with a western and southwestern orientation. Vinification took place 50% in Doppelstück and 50% in stainless steel. On the nose, lime and wet stone come to the fore first, followed by fern and pale Reine Claude plum – juicy and lively.
stony, fresh, pure and clearly terroir-driven. In the mouth the wine is full and round, a fairly rich but elegant dry Riesling with fine phenols and a powerful, structured finish. Complex and full-bodied – this Schloss Johannisberger gains depth with a few years of bottle aging.

From a coolish, west-facing part of the historic cru and vinified in doppelstück for six months, the 2023 Schloss Johannisberg Bronzelack Riesling Trocken is deep and intense on the flinty and fresh, pure and substantial, terroir-driven nose. Full and round on the palate, this is a quite rich but elegant dry Riesling with fine phenols and a powerful, structural finish. Complex and full-bodied, this Schloss Johannisberger will benefit from some years of bottle age. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.
Schloss Johannisberg has been a certified organic winery for two years. The changeover could not have been more challenging with the 2023 vintage. “The harvest was a struggle because there was a lot of pressure due to the warm and humid air,” reports Stefan Doktor, an athlete—he races through the world's ice channels on a luge—who naturally knows and appreciates challenges. “You had to work as quickly as possible and press until 3 a.m. because the yeasts were already active in the vineyard. Before the big harvest team arrived on September 18, we had already brought in 40% of our grapes—all in a healthy state and physiologically ripe, with high acidity—the week before with the pre-harvest team. A week later, we had 80%.” In total, the harvest took a little less than three weeks. By the end of September, everything had been harvested, including two spectacularly precise botrytis wines, a Beerenauslese and a Trockenbeerenauslese, both of which have crazy acidity levels and precise fruit aromas, as if Albrecht Dürer had drawn them. They are the highlights of the Schloss Johannisberg 2023 vintage and are made to last.
The average yield in 2023 was 56 hectoliters per hectare. In the end, Stefan Doktor himself was impressed by the quality of the musts and even more so by the wines with their superbly pronounced tartaric acidity. The highlight for next year has already been bottled. For the upcoming 250th anniversary of Spätlese, which was discovered here in 1775, 1,000 bottles have been made of the Riesling Schloss Johannisberg Ex-Bibliotheca Subterranea Cuvée 100 Spätlese, which blends numerous Spätlese vintages back to 1915.

For a sleek dry riesling that’s barely medium-bodied, this has fabulous concentration and aromatic complexity. A whole garden of flowers just after a summer thunderstorm when the sun returns. But also mandarin oranges and the red berry fruit of a beautiful summer. Then the racy and wet stone acidity bowls you over in the incredibly energetic and cool finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

From: Rheinhessen & Rheingau: Riesling Triumphs After Rain (Oct 2024)
The 2023 Riesling Schloss Johannisberg Bronzelack is made from fruit picked in cooler parcels of the Johannisberg slope, both west- and southwest-facing. It was made in 50% Doppelstück and 50% stainless steel. A streak of lime and wet stone are the first notions on the nose, followed by fern and pale Reine Claude plum, juicy and bright. An almost sylph-like lightness defines this wine with all its agility and fluidity, while lime zest and more of that stoniness border the flowing body. It closes with a clear-cut, tangy finish. (Bone-dry)

Tasting 2023 at Schloss Johannisberg was a highlight of the tour. Stefan Doktor notes, "Two thousand twenty-three was not easy, but just like in sports, you grow with your challenges, and when the going gets tough, those who are best prepared come out on top.” This analogy is apt as Doktor competed and still competes in luge internationally. “Two thousand twenty-three was the opposite of 2022. We had wet weather during harvest, and grapes developed so rapidly that we had an unusually rapid harvest,” he says. “We asked our picking team to arrive on September 18, but some had already arrived on September 11 for pre-harvest preparations, so we plunged straight into harvest on September 12. When the rest of the team arrived, 40% of the grapes were already in the cellar. A week later, 80%.” He notes that they had to select most stringently but brought in “incredibly healthy botrytis” with harvest concluding by the end of September. Fruit, he says, “had high, bold acidity levels in combination with clearly defined aromas.” He compares this element of 2023 to 2010. Doktor presented two new wines in the portfolio and a one-off: a new entry-level dry Riesling called Prince Metternich and a Kabinett called Orangelack to represent a different Kabinett style from the established Rotlack. The one-off is a non-vintage blend made to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of Spätlese discovered here in 1775. Just 1,000 bottles were made. "This is something you can only do once," Stefan Doktor adds, calling this creation Riesling Schloss Johannisberg Ex-Bibliotheca Subterranea Cuvée 100 Spätlese. Doktor has a very clear idea of what he wants to achieve and delivers stunning wines that do justice to Johannisberg’s history and reputation.

Schloss Johannisberg bottles "Qualitätswein" under a label with a yellow seal. The Qualitätsweine mit Prädikat (quality wines with special properties) are classified as follows: Rotlach for the medium quality cabinet wines, Orangelach for the best cabinet wines, Grünlach for the average Spätlesen, Weisslach for the large Spätlesen, Rosalach for the Auslesen, Blaulach for the best qualities Auslese and Goldlach for the Beeren- and Trockenbeerenauslesen. Bad years do not deliver superior quality wine; The Auslesen with sky blue seal and the Beerenauslesen with gold seal will therefore not be found. Sometimes a sparkling wine is made from the lighter and less good Riesling wine, which is sold under the name Fürst von Metternich Prädikats-Sekt.
Schloss Johannisberg 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. Wine has been made since 817 and 100% Riesling has been produced since 1720. The winery is centrally located in the area and has a rich history.

The wines are the most elegant in the Rheingau area and gain in balance and flexibility as they age.

And, it is assured, even the oldest white wines are still very drinkable!
