With the 2018 vintage, the dry flagship of Schloss Johannisberg once again proves its exceptional position in the Rheingau. Year after year, top-class Rieslings mature on the quartzite rock covered in loess loam of the 35-hectare monopole site. Fully ripe yellow stone fruit and exotic fruits combined with the finesse of the oldest pure Riesling vineyard in the world create a magnificent taste experience. Aged for 30 months on the fine lees in traditional wooden barrels made from the estate's own oak, the Goldlack perfectly balances baroque fullness of flavor, vibrant minerality and finely chiselled acidity. A cornucopia full of impressions of enormous complexity with ageing potential for decades, which was worth 98 points to JAMES SUCKLING.

The famous Rheingau vineyard near Geisenheim was first mentioned in a document in 817, when Emperor Ludwig the Pious acquired vineyards from Fulda Abbey. For more than 300 years, the vineyard has been planted exclusively with Riesling. Johannisberg is considered the first closed Riesling vineyard in the world.
