In order to build a new European order after the Napoleonic Wars, the Vienna Conference, which is known in the history of the world, was held in Vienna, the capital of the Austrian Empire, and was the chairman of the Marquis Metternig.
On July 1, 1816, Emperor Franz of Austria gave to the Metternich family the Schloss Johannisberg of Rheingau, which had long been acclaimed worldwide, and his vineyards, to the Metternich family, in honor of his achievements in bringing the international order to Europe and leading the world to peaceful coexistence.
When the donation was made, the phrase "1/10 of the wine produced annually will be given to the Austrian Imperial Family or its heirs," and this is still passed down today.
In 1834, Marquis Metternig saw great potential in sparkling wine, which was popular in Europe at the time, and began developing it.
In 1864, Johann Jacob Zehnlein, who had founded the brand of sparkling wines that bear his name, visited Johannisberg and eagerly wanted to use the excellent Riesling of Marquis Metternich for his wines.
The two companies later joined forces, and in 1867 the wine, which was exhibited at the Paris World's Exposition, won a gold medal. "Fürst" means "Prince." This is because he was the young prince of the Marquis at the time of the Vienna Conference.
