Descriere
The grapes for its production are grown on shale and alluvial soils located on the banks of the Rhine, under the influence of a mild, almost Mediterranean climate. The wine-making traditions of the region were laid in the monastic farms in the early Middle Ages.
The wine is named in honor of Count Rheingau – Johann IV Katzelenebogen, who in 1435 ordered to plant 22 vines of a new grape variety in one of his vineyards.
