About Winery and Wines
Great wines are made with passion, dedication, and experience.
Since 1831 we are carrefully craftig our wines around Bacharach on the steep slopes of the famous Mittelrhein valley.
Today, Cecilia Jost is the seventh generation to run the winery. We are currently cultivating 15 hectares on both sides of the Rhine: on the right bank of the Rhine in the Rheingau and on the left bank of the Rhine in the Middle Rhine Valley around Bacharach.
Viticulture shapes the Middle Rhine Valley. Surrounded by castles and medieval towns, steep vineyards and slate cliffs define the romantic landscape. In the special microclimate, the vines that claw their way into the rocks here produce fine, highly aromatic Rieslings and mineral Pinot Noirs.
SLATE, Rhine and Riesling – this triad characterizes the interplay of fruit and minerality in our wines. Loamy clay deposits from seas in the Devonian age about 400 million years ago fossilised into slate. All our vineyards in the Middle Rhine Valley are characterised by slate. Depending on the grape variety, vintage and the individual vineyards, the wines are more distinctly or more subtly influenced by the soil. The slate tone resonates most clearly in the fine Rieslings and full bodied Spätburgunder.
Our winery also produces great fruity and sweet qualities like the so famous german styles of Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese with its almost never ending finish.
