Villa Gutenberg Johannisberger Erntebringer Riesling Kabinett is a white wine from the Rheingau region of Germany. Villa Gutenberg’s wines are bottled in the “Rheingau flute”, an elegant, antique-green flask-style bottle with bevelled edges.
Villa Gutenberg is an 18 hectare wine estate located among lush vineyards at the banks of the Rhine River. The vineyards extend from Rüdesheim to Hochheim and all offer different slope angles, soil substrates, and micro-climates that produce unique and complex wines.
In 1978, Sieglinde and Richard Nägler acquired the charming estate and renovated it with loving attention to detail. Since then, it has been the primary residence of the Nägler family. In 1999, Richard Nägler and his wife, Andrea, continued their parents’ efforts at the winery.
The next generation – Kerstin, Richard and Volker – is ready to take over. Great emphasis is placed on professional care, environmental responsibility, and care for the grapevines, to produce wines of the highest quality.
Johannisberger Erntebringer Vineyard
Erntebringer refers to a renowned Grosslage (collection of vineyards) near the village of Johannisberg, famous for its historic ties to Riesling production—home to Schloss Johannisberg, often called the “Cathedral of Riesling.”
The Villa Gutenberg vineyard is set back from the Rhine, benefiting from a cool, continental climate with slate-rich slopes that promote acidity and aromatic complexity in Riesling.
This wine is made from 100% Riesling grapes and classified as a Kabinett, the entry-level Prädikatswein, indicating grapes harvested at moderate ripeness for a balance of freshness and subtle sweetness.
The grapes for the Villa Gutenberg Johannisberger Erntebringer Riesling Kabinett undergo a cool fermentation that takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, to retain the freshness and primary aromas of the Riesling grapes.
