Tasting through the centuries with Schloss Johannisberg
Wine has been cultivated at Schloss Johannisberg for more as 1200 years, exclusively Riesling since 1720. Here is the birthplace of one of the oldest and noblest grape varieties in the world.
In this informative tasting led by Managing Director Stefan Doktor, Members will learn more about a winery with its first mentions dating back to Emperor Ludwig the Pious in the year 817.
The fundament for the top-quality wines is the single vineyard Schloss Johannisberg, a quartzite hill with the size of fifty hectares, facing exactly south. The winery’s own forest lies to the north of Schloss Johannisberg. The wood from the oaks native to the area is used as a raw material to produce the wooden barrels that are using in the wine production, with the natural texture of the wood, its structure and ingredients influencing the character and quality of Schloss Johannisberg Riesling.
We look forward to welcoming Members to this distinctive tasting, where we taste from 1959 to 2019.
