Weingut Johannishof

Johannisberg is probably historically one of the most significant wine-growing village, in the Rheingau. According to legend, vines were initially planted here on the instructions of Charlemagne, who from his winter palace in Ingelheim on the opposite bank of the Rhine, observed that the winter snow melted there first.

Weingut Johannishof, located at the foot of Schloss Johannisberg, is without doubt the leading estate. It has holdings in the Johannisberg, Winkel and Geisenheim vineyards, as well as 4 hectares of vines in Berg Rottland, the famous Rudesheim vineyard. Johannes Eser crafts hauntingly elegant, high quality Rieslings that combine piercing intensity of fruit with exceptional raciness.
