We are full of anticipation. The grape harvest at Schloss Johannisberg is approaching. The sun shines on the grapes of the 2024 vintage from a bright blue sky in moderate late summer temperatures. Grapes as we love them, spoiled by the sun, supplied with sufficient water.

The cellar and vineyard are a hive of activity.

The Schloss Johannisberg cellar team is preparing sorting tables, the grape press and our wooden barrels and steel tanks to receive the grapes from the new vintage and to provide the grapes with the best possible conditions for the development of our Schloss Johannisberg Rieslings.

The vineyard team completes the final work on the soil and the vines. Harvesting shears, crates, buckets and baskets are prepared for the manual harvest.

Everything is ready to receive the new vintage.

Soon the aroma of fresh wine will fill our historic wooden barrel cellar. The fermentation tubes/fermentation bungs will bubble loudly, the process of spontaneous fermentation will begin, the first step from grape juice to Schloss Johannisberg Riesling.
