Schloss Johannisberg Ex Bibliotheca
Created to honor an extraordinary legacy, Schloss Johannisberg Ex Bibliotheca Cuvée 100 Spätlese is far more than a wine—it is the embodiment of 250 years of history, sealed within a design that pays tribute to the birth of Late Harvest Riesling in 1775. Produced by the legendary Schloss Johannisberg, where the roots of Riesling trace back to the 9th century, this limited edition is both a celebration and a revelation—an encounter between tradition, place, and design excellence.
The packaging, signed by Omdesign®, mirrors the rarity and prestige of the wine it holds. Crafted from noble materials, the structure features premium wood enveloped by a colored fine paper cover, enhanced with gold stamping, embossing, and debossing. The dual-cover concept—front and back—offers a sensorial unboxing experience, revealing not only the product but the story behind it. This architectural composition showcases the richness of the wood, reinforcing the tactile and visual language of prestige. An exclusive booklet inside this case recounts the project’s narrative and emphasizes the brand’s unique history.
Minimalist by intention, the design allows elegant details to speak louder: debossed motifs draw the eye and hand, while the printed illustration of the estate on the side panels grounds the box in its place of origin, Schloss Johannisberg, echoing the soul of its terroir.
A special edition born from centuries of vinicultural knowledge and a legendary stroke of fate—the noble rot that once delayed a harvest and forever changed the course of Riesling—Cuvée 100 Spätlese emerges from the depths of the Bibliotheca, 10 meters below the surface, where time itself is a quiet witness to greatness.
This packaging is not merely protective; it is interpretative. A vessel of memory and meaning, designed to safeguard a jewel of oenology and to perpetuate a 1,200-year-old heritage that blends legacy, artistry, and devotion.
In this creation, Omdesign® has once again transformed storytelling into timeless design, crafting a piece worthy of history—and of the future it inspires.
