Prinz Winery
Weingut Prinz is a respected family winery in the Rheingau, one of Germany's most renowned wine regions. Located in Hallgarten, it is known for its first-class Riesling and Pinot Noir wines, which perfectly reflect the region's terroir.
The winery was founded in 1991 by Fred Prinz and currently comprises approximately 10 hectares of vineyards. From the very beginning, Fred Prinz placed great emphasis on quality and craftsmanship in the vineyard and cellar, which quickly earned the winery an excellent reputation.
The Prinz winery's vineyards are located in prime locations in the Rheingau, including the renowned Hallgartener Jungfer, Hallgartener Schönhell, and Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen sites. These sites are known for their quartzite, slate, and loess soils, which lend the wines a distinctive minerality and finesse.
The winery's focus is on Riesling, which accounts for approximately 85% of the vineyard area. The Rieslings from the Prinz winery are characterized by their clear fruit, lively acidity, and pronounced minerality. They offer aromas of citrus, green apple, peach, and floral notes. The wines are aged in stainless steel tanks or large wooden barrels, preserving the freshness and characteristic structure of the wines.
In addition to Riesling, Pinot Noir also plays an important role in the winery's portfolio. These Pinot Noir wines offer aromas of red berries, cherries, and delicate spices, complemented by a velvety tannin structure and subtle oak notes. Aging takes place in barriques, which lends the wines additional complexity and depth.
The Prinz winery focuses on sustainable viticulture and respectful interaction with nature. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected to ensure the highest possible quality. Minimal intervention is used in the cellar to preserve the typicality and authenticity of the wines.
The Prinz Winery has earned an excellent reputation for its outstanding wines, earning it both nationally and internationally acclaim. The winery's wines are acclaimed by wine lovers and critics alike, offering an authentic taste experience that reflects the tradition and excellence of Rheingau winemaking.
