Schloss Johannisberg is a historic winery and castle located in Geisenheim, Germany, in the Rheingau wine region. This site is renowned for its extensive history in viticulture, dating back over 1,200 years. It is particularly famous for pioneering the production of Riesling wines. The estate covers approximately 50 hectares of vineyards exclusively dedicated to Riesling. The castle itself, with its baroque architecture, provides a picturesque setting overlooking the Rhine River. It has played a crucial role in wine innovation, including the discovery of late harvest wines, known as Spätlese, in the 18th century.
