The WINZER VON ERBACH cellar was built in 1903 in the "Art Nouveau" style. Today, we ae the most highly rated wine cooperation in the Rheingau region, well known for producing high quality Riesling wines with a strong price-value relationship.
As with the Mosel region, Rheingau is famous for growing top quality grapes of the best German white wine variety, the Riesling. With only 3,200 hectares in a 45 kilometer stretch from Wiesbaden to Lorchhausen, it is one of the smallest wine regions in Germany.
More than 30% of our vineyards are located in the top spots of the Rheingau called "Großes Gewächs" (big growth). On average, we produce 290,000 liters of wine (approx. 27,000 cases) each year. This corresponds to a harvest ratio of 79 hectoliters per hectare.
It has been said many times that great wine is made in the vineyard, we believe that too - but you also need to use the best technical equipment and reliable, creative cellar master with experience to get a perfect result.
In the Riesling Region it is important to cultivate this noble type of wine in the classic way while also integrating modern ideas and techniques. Once the grapes are in the winery, the aim is to preserve, ans if possible, enhance the natural aroma and flavor of our fruity and worldwide unique Riesling.
