**Johanniter** is a white grape and a modern disease-resistant (PIWI) hybrid bred in Germany, developed from Riesling and other varieties to combine quality with resilience in the vineyard. **In the glass** — It leans on its Riesling parentage, showing green-apple and citrus fruit, a floral lift and crisp, refreshing acidity in a light to medium body. **Where it grows** — Planted mainly in Germany and other cooler parts of central and northern Europe, it appeals to growers seeking lower-spray, more sustainable viticulture without sacrificing freshness. **At the table** — Good with light fish, salads, soft cheeses and lightly spiced dishes. **Cellaring** — Generally best young and fresh, when its bright acidity and aromatics are at their most appealing.
