It is closely tied to the birth of Spätlese, which legend says was discovered in 1775 when a messenger arrived late with the order to harvest, leaving the grapes to ripen further. The estate’s abbey cellar is nearly nine centuries old, and since 2022 its vineyards have been in conversion to organic viticulture. Grünlack, the Green Seal, is its Spätlese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jascots Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63271005782403,"sku":"JAS60224","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/SchlossJohannisbergGrunlackRieslingSpatlese.png?v=1778238721","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/schloss-johannisberg-grunlack-riesling-spatlese-2024","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
