Orangelack Kabinett

Schloss Johannisberg is one of the world's most historic riesling estates, with origins dating back nearly 1,200 years and a pioneering role in developing the Spätlese style. The estate's meticulously mapped vineyards on the south-facing Johannisberg hill define its identity, producing Riesling of remarkable clarity and balance.

Orangelack Kabinett

Orangelack ('orange seal') denotes the Kabinett style – light, fine and delicately sweet. The 2024 vintage comes from precisely selected parcels harvested at optimal ripeness to maintain tension between sugar and acidity. Fermented in stainless steel with cool temperature control and with subsequent ageing on the fine lees in large wooden barrels made from the castle's own oakthe wine preserves crystalline fruit and aromatic lift.

Schloss Johannisberg's long traditions, combined with modern precision, result in a Kabinett that is elegant and refreshing, marked by citrus and stone‑fruit notes and the estate's signature slate‑driven minerality. Orangelack remains a benchmark for the style globally.

Tasting
NOTES

We're in stone fruit territory here with this off-dry Rheingau riesling, which opens with notes of white peach, nectarine, Meyer lemon, melon and honeysuckle. At once delicate and intense, there's a smoky note to it on the palate, where it displays crisp and refreshing acidity that balances out it sweetness level. You'll also find hints of wet stone, lime zest, jasmine, pineapple and pear. An exuberant, juicy Riesling with a generous texture and a minty finish.
