History
Schloss Johannisberg's gold-foiled TBA descends from the 1775 monastic 'Spaetlese' courier story when delayed harvest authorisation produced the documented late-harvest sweet Riesling that gave the Spaetlese category its name; the gold capsule sits at the top of the colour-coded Pradikat hierarchy.
