Ohanniter is a white grape variety. The grape was bred in 1968 by Johannes Zimmermann of the Viticulture Institute in Freiburg as fungus-resistant. It is the result of crosses between Riesling, Seyve-villard, Ruländer, and Gutedel. The grape is named after the grower because, as head of the Freiburger Institute, he had such foresight when it came to fungus-resistant grape varieties. Outward similarities with her mother-grape, the Riesling, are unmistakable. Both the grape, the truss and the leaves. Harvest time is a bit earlier in the year.

What does wine from the Johanniter grape taste like?

Johanniter wines are wonderfully exuberant in terms of aroma, with aromas that bounce out of the glass. Aromas of citrus, lime, grapefruit and lemon, melon, pear, green apple and peach. In terms of taste, they are powerful and fruity, with a fresh acidity.
