Which of the following is a famous Riesling site in the Rheingau?

• A. Erdener Prälat
• B. Juffer-Sonnenuhr
• C. Morstein
• D. Schloss Johannisberg

Answer: (D)

Riesling is closely tied to its place, and the Rheingau is famous for elegant, age-worthy Rieslings from iconic hillside estates along the Rhine. Schloss Johannisberg stands on a hillside in Geisenheim, Rheingau, and is one of the region’s most storied producers, symbolizing the refined, balanced Rieslings the area is known for. Its historic reputation helps students recognize the Rheingau’s characteristic style—bright acidity, refined fruit, and mineral nuance.

The other names come from different regions: Erdener Prälat and Juffer-Sonnenuhr are celebrated Mosel sites with the Mosel’s distinctive slate soils and bracing acidity, while Morstein is a well-known site in Rheinhessen.
