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.
Orangelack, the essence of KabinettOrangelack perfectly embodies the spirit of Kabinett, with Riesling grapes harvested at full ripeness, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and vibrant acidity while maintaining a low alcohol content. The orange capsule is a nod to the name of this cuvée.
