Both red sandstone and shell limestone can be found in the vineyards of the Johannisberg, which lies below the rocky foam limestone banks. The vines can put down strong roots that penetrate deep through the shell limestone into the red sandstone below. In addition, this location consists of several small side valleys, some of which have a gradient of up to 60%. Another special feature is the forest belt above the vineyards, which protects against the cold easterly winds. All of this creates a special microclimate that gives the wines juiciness and clear fruit on the palate with mineral notes. In addition, they are uncanny long-distance runners with a unique elegance.
