Weingut Toni Jost

Winery in Middle Rhine Valley, Loreley

About the Winery

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.

About the Wines

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.

Fantastic experience!
The wine tasting at Weingut Toni Jost was a wonderful experience! We were welcomed with kindness by the owners and tasted excellent Rieslings, and each tasting was accompanied by explanations (even in Italian!) to help us better appreciate the different characteristics of the wines. Highly recommended experience to enrich the trip along the Rhine Valley!!!

Personalized wine tasting with a knowledgeable guide
The two of us were looking for a wine tasting opportunity in Bacharach on short notice, as we were only staying there for two nights. We booked the tasting late in the evening and were anxious to see if it would be confirmed, since we wanted the tasting for the very next day at 2 PM. It was confirmed.

At 2 p.m., we were met by Linda, our wine guide. She asked us what kind of wine we liked and based the tasting on that. We were served the wines in pairs to make it easier to compare them, and she told us about the wines, how the grapes are grown, and why the grapes produce such distinct flavors.

After nearly an hour, the tasting concluded, and she asked us what we were looking for during our visit to the Rhine Valley. She then gave us a couple of excellent recommendations for places to visit—and explained why. We have now left the Rhine Valley and would like to thank Linda for a wonderful wine-tasting experience and, not least, for the great recommendations regarding castles we should visit. Everything was top-notch!

A very pleasant visit
We tasted 5+1 wines, with plenty of explanations about the terroirs, soils and sunshine (near the river or further inland, +/- higher up), an hour of pleasure.

Wijn proeverij
Voor een niet Wijnkenner/liefhebber, samen met mijn vriendin die wél van een wijntje houdt een proeverij van Rita gehad. Het was naast informatief ook een geke gezellige wijn proeverij. Ik was verbaasd, van wat de invloeden van het klimaat zoal de smaak van de wijn bepalen. 5 generaties zijn op deze plek al bezig wijn te maken én net succes. Na het proeven én kopen van een aantal wijnen, zijn we net ern erg fijn gevoel weer vertrokken. Bedankt Rits
Geen, alles prima

Informative and fun
The Justs provided a friendly and highly informative explanation of the nature and production of their wines. No question was too simple and all delivered with good humour and excellent English for the lazy foreigner. The Just wine selection is top drawer and so tasting them was a delight.

Learned So Much! Highly Recommend
We learned a lot about the specific microclimates within a few kilometres including proximity to the Rhein, winds, slope , geology and latitude. We learned the Toni Jody family has been growing grapes and making wine for over 200+ years. We tried four riesling varieties and two red varieties (Spärburgunder) . Each came with a specific reason for its unique taste. I especially liked learning about an unexpected red wine (rotwein) the family has made in the German tradition to have the taste not influenced by wood. We found it good value for 1 1/2 hours $40 .
Don’t rush, Slow down, really savour the teachings of the staff. The purchases of bottles here was less expensive that the same type at the grocery store, so buy at the Weingut.

Terrific tasting in the Mittelrhein
Our tasting at Weingut Toni Just in the beautiful wine town of Bacharach on the Rhine river, was amazing. Cecilia Jost, the young winemaker, and grand-daughter of Toni, was our enthusiastic host, in the intimate tasting room. We tasted a range of high-quality (VDP) Rieslings from the excellent Hahn vinyards, in a range of styles including dry, off-dry, and sweeter auslese. The wines are terrific value for money as well. Cecilia kindly dropped us off at the local Posthof restaurant for lunch afterwords. We made our booking through Winedering, which was convenient, and helpfully in English. .

Tailored Bacharach Wine Experience
Peter’s knowledge of every aspect of wine growing in the region was truly impressive. Rarely have we learned so much about a particular wine style (ie Middle Rhine styles) at a cellar door anywhere in the world. The venue was steeped in Bacharach’s wine growing history and the wines presented were superb. Thank you Peter Jost for a wonderful experience,
