Toni Jost's grapes grow on steep slopes in the narrow valley of the Rhine. The northern location allows the grapes to ripen slowly. Unique Rieslings and Pinot Noirs grow here on slate soil. The manual work, minimally supported by special machines, is simply a reality on such steep vineyard sites and the wines express the work and care that goes into making them. The vineyards are located on both sides of the Rhine, in the Middle Rhine Valley and in the Rheingau. In Bacharach on the Middle Rhine, the family has been growing Rieslings here since 1831. Seven generations of the Jost family have laid the foundation for some of the best wines produced in the Mittlerhein and Rheingau.

This estate dates back to 1815 and today they farm 20 hectares of vineyards. Riesling currently accounts for 85% of the vines, supplemented by Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc). Werner and Frank Schönleber have worked their way to the top of their profession. Germany's leading wine guides unanimously rate Weingut Emrich-Schönleber as a world-class winery. The Mineral is sourced from the younger vines of the Halenberg and Fruhlingsplatschen GG vinyards,and it offers an incredible value to Riesling lovers. Surprisingly saline whilst true to it's name, Mineral hews razor-blade like precision with hammer like slatey minerality buoyed by linear acidity (even in 2022). A wonderful showcase of all the terroirs of the Nahe.

Willi, who was born in 1949, made his first vintage in 1971, then still with his father. During Willi’s career, the Schaefer wines achieved an international reputation. The winery, as it exists today, is also the life’s work of Martha (1924-2013) and Willibrord Schaefer (1912-1995). In the difficult post-war period, they built today’s manor and farm buildings and produced, even at that time, outstanding wines. The family's vineyards are located in Graacher Dompropst and Graacher Himmelreich, as well as in Wehlener Sonnenuhr. The plots are located on steep slate slopes and consist of up to 100-year-old, ungrafted vines. Graacher Domprobst roughly translates to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Graacher Dompropst vineyard is classified as a VDP. GROSSE LAGE vineyard, the designation for the highest quality Mosel vineyards. Due to the topography, the kingdom of heaven is protected against wind and frost. In addition, the warming of the slate soil causes uniform and complete maturity. Many water veins ensure an optimal supply of moisture for the vines. Rieslings from Graacher Domprobst are typically silky and charming, in harmony with fine fruit acidity and minerality. The scent is often characterized by citrus, yellow and white peach. In addition, the clay content in the soil gives these plants their distinctive, powerful character. Giving them time to age will reward them with even more elegance and mineral finesse.

The winery was founded in Nierstein in 1783 and has been family-owned ever since. Knowledge, care, the learned craft, dedication, and passion have since shaped this estate. Their top priority is to focus on the essential, in their words: "To produce high-quality wines from high-quality grapes, by consciously dealing with nature. The focus is always on the desire to preserve all the ingredients that a grape develops. This care and the experience over decades are reflected in the quality of the wines". Heinrich Seebrich Senior converted the estate completely to viticulture in the 1950s. Since 1985, the estate has been run by Heinrich Seebrich Junior, who is assisted by his son Jochen. The vineyards cover 11 hectares in some of the best Nierstein vineyards, including the highly regarded Hipping site, the source for this wine.

In 1921 Richard Mosbacher Snr. (1898-1977) founded the current estate together with his sisters and named it after their father Georg: 'Weingut Georg Mosbacher Erben' (Wine estate of Georg Mosbacher's heirs). The curved 'M' which decorates their wine labels up to this day goes back to these first years. Richard Mosbacher Jnr. took over responsibility for the cellars when his father Richard - a declared anti-Nazi - was appointed mayor by the Americans after the end of the Second World. The winery now produces some of the finest wines in the Pfalz and all of Germany for that matter. The grapes for this wine are grown on a south and southeast-facing vineyard, 60% of it slopes up towards the edge of the forest, while 40% is on the lower slopes, on soils composed of sandstone with limestone outcrops and basalt.
