In the middle of the renovated castle courtyard, the statue of the "Spätlesereiter" (late harvest rider) has been the new eye-catcher since September 2021. It depicts the legendary rider and his horse. The bronze sculpture was created by Berlin sculptor Valerie Otte, who had previously won a competition. The statue was intended to speak for itself and was deliberately placed at ground level. The Spätlesereiter (late harvest rider) is a figure from a local legend that is said to explain the accidental discovery of the Spätlese wine at the Schloss Johannisberg winery in the Rheingau region. However, there is no historical evidence for the figure. The story can be found here, among other places: wein-im-schlosshof.de/spaetlesereiter

As much as I yell at him, the lout just doesn't want to give out a late harvest!
