Created to honor an extraordinary legacy, Schloss Johannisberg Ex Bibliotheca Cuvée 100 Spätlese is more than a wine—it celebrates 250 years of history and the origin of Late Harvest Riesling in 1775. Produced by the iconic Schloss Johannisberg, where Riesling’s roots trace back to the 9th century, this limited edition is a tribute to tradition, terroir, and timeless design. The packaging, by Omdesign®, reflects the rarity and prestige of the wine. Crafted from noble materials, it features premium wood wrapped in fine colored paper with gold stamping, embossing, and debossing. A dual-cover system enhances the unboxing experience, revealing the story within through an exclusive booklet and tactile finishes that evoke craftsmanship and heritage. Elegant and minimalist, the design highlights debossed patterns and an estate illustration that connects the box to its place of origin. Emerging from the depths of the Bibliotheca—where noble rot once changed Riesling’s destiny—this edition is a vessel of memory, safeguarding a jewel of oenology and perpetuating over a millennium of legacy through refined, interpretative design.
