Schloss Johannisberg, a historic icon of the Rheingau region
Wine has been cultivated at Schloss Johannisberg for 1,200 years, exclusively Riesling since 1720. This is the birthplace of one of the oldest and noblest grape varieties in the world. The long history of Schloss Johannisberg is filled with passion, responsibility, and pride, which have made it possible to produce exceptional Rieslings and to inspire those who craft them.
The estate covers fifty hectares, facing due south, on a quartzite hill at the foot of the Taunus Mountains. With a 45-degree slope, the vineyard rises to 182 meters above sea level, providing the grapes with perfect exposure to sunlight.
The unique Schloss Johannisberg terroir, combined with the uncompromising pursuit of quality, forms the foundation for truly exceptional wines — wines that embody centuries of tradition and the spirit of innovation.
Goldlack, the reference of German excellence
Goldlack, renowned for its distinctive style, is a "Trocken" Riesling, meaning "dry" in German. Hand harvesting ensures that only the finest grapes are selected, contributing to the complexity and expressiveness of the aromas that define Goldlack. The golden capsule refers to the name of this prestigious cuvée.
The 2022 vintage
Tasting notes
Complex and expressive, with aromas of yellow stone fruit such as apricot and yellow plum on the nose. The white flowers of jasmine combine with cinnamon and vanilla. Ethereal with mint and thyme. Mouth-filling and wonderfully balanced. Intense minerality, salty, taut, precise. Spicy and very grippy with a firm acid structure and lots of melting. A wine with a long finish.
