Schloss Johannisberg : Riesling Orangelack Kabinett 2024

The freshness and complexity of a German Riesling from Schloss Johannisberg

The estate

With a winemaking heritage spanning over a millennium, Schloss Johannisberg stands as a benchmark for great German wines. Founded in the 12th century as a Benedictine monastery, the estate then went through a period of uncertainty linked to the country's political and economic upheavals. Paradoxically, these trials led Schloss Johannisberg to a true renaissance, even more brilliant and flourishing: all the parcels were replanted with Riesling, making the estate the first, and one of the most prestigious, enclosed vineyards dedicated to this grape variety in the world.

The vineyard

This Riesling Orangelack from Schloss Johannisberg is a Rheingau wine that precisely embodies the spirit of Kabinett, a category of German dry or off-dry wines, prized for their freshness, harmony, and low alcohol content.

Winemaking and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo rigorous sorting before vinification in stainless steel tanks. Aging takes place on fine lees in 1,200-liter barrels crafted from the estate's own oak.

Blend

This Riesling Orangelack Kabinett 2024 from Schloss Johannisberg is 100% Riesling.
