Name a well-known Riesling site in the Rheingau.

• A. Schloss Vollrads
• B. Eltville
• C. Hattenheimer
• D. Johannisberg

Answer: (D)

In the Rheingau, the standout Riesling quality comes from famous hillside sites that catch plenty of sun and deliver bright acidity with mineral depth. Johannisberg is the iconic example: the hill behind Schloss Johannisberg has long been associated with premium Riesling, and the estate helped define the style and prestige of Rheingau Riesling. That historical prominence, combined with the vineyard’s distinct terroir, makes Johannisberg the best-known Riesling site in the region. The other options are either towns or other sites, but Johannisberg carries the strongest, most widely recognized association with Riesling in the Rheingau.
