Johannishof Wines

Sort By:

Johannishof 2003 Johannisberger Hölle Beerenauslese Riesling (Rheingau)

Price $132

Wonderfully rich and sweet, yet while this completely coats the palate with superripe apples and honey flavors, it never seems like too much. Despite low acidity, the sweetness is balanced by powerful minerality on the long finish. Imported by Valckenberg International, Inc. — J.C. (2/1/2006)

Johannishof 2009 Rüdesheim Berg Rottland Erstes Gewächs Riesling (Rheingau)

Price $69

This wine shows the peachy notes of a top vintage, spiked with crushed stone and briny notes. The additional weight shows on the palate, where the wine is broad and mouthcoating yet spicy, peppery and fully dry. — J.C. (12/1/2011)

Johannishof 2008 Rüdesheim Berg Rottland Spätlese Riesling (Rheingau)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

A stunning expression of place, very mineral but with enough juicy stone fruit nuances to be immediately likeable. It’s tight and focused, showing excellent balance and a long, perfumed finish. Drink now (think sushi) or stash away for five or more years for a more laid-back style. — W.E. (6/1/2010)

Johannishof 2006 Rüedesheim Berg Rottland Erstes Gewächs Riesling (Rheingau)

Price $44

Hugely ripe, with 14.5% alcohol and a touch of residual sweetness, but also a richly textured mouthfeel and layers of honey, apricot preserves, slate-driven minerality and spice. It may be a bit precariously balanced, so opt for drinking it over the near term. — J.C. (3/1/2009)

Johannishof 2005 Johannisberg V Kabinett Riesling (Rheingau)

Editors' Choice

Price $20

This has the power and weight of the Rheingau, but also the delicate floral nuances of the Mosel. Scents of flower-shop greens, crushed-stone and lime easily glide into flavors of melon and citrus, underscored by a strong mineral component. Long, intense and refreshing on the finish. — J.C. (2/1/2007)

Johannishof 2003 Rudesheimer Berg Rottland Spätlese Riesling (Rheingau)

Editors' Choice

Price $26

Stony and minerally on the nose, followed by gentler whiffs of honey, then finally broad, sweet flavors of ripe apples and pineapples. Mouthfilling and soft, but with balanced acidity and a long, complex finish. — J.C. (12/15/2004)

Johannishof 2009 Johannisberg Hölle Erstes Gewächs Riesling (Rheingau)

Price $69

Seems slightly sweet, but with this much going on, that’s only a minor footnote. Aromas of honey, ripe apples and crushed stone define the nose, while the flavors approximate poached apples. It’s full bodied, with a long, lightly honeyed finish. — J.C. (12/1/2011)

Johannishof 2008 G Kabinett Riesling (Rheingau)

Online Exclusive

Price $29

An expressive, extroverted style that still communicates a sense of place. There’s loads of dried fruit character here, with apple, nectarine, rose and graham flour flavors that build to a long-lasting finish. Light-bodied, with a spice aftertaste. Drink now or hold five-plus years. — W.E. (6/1/2010)
