Weingüter Wegeler
Since 1882, Wegeler has been synonymous with excellence in German viticulture. Today, the winery is run by the fourth generation of the Wegeler family, together with Ralf Frenzel and Torsten Vogt—with a blend of tradition, foresight, and genuine passion, especially for Riesling, complemented by a small selection of Pinot Noir.
Julius Wegeler began as a wine merchant and sparkling wine producer at Deinhard before becoming a winemaker himself. For him, wine was always a question of quality, maturity, and patience: young wines spent at least two winters on the lees, exceptional vintages even longer. With this foresight and the right instinct for top vineyards, he laid the foundation for a winery with a unique portfolio of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in the Rheingau and Mosel regions.
Steep slopes with slate and loess soils give the Rieslings minerality, tension, and aging potential. The mild climate and proximity to the river ensure slow, even ripening. This results in Rieslings with elegance, depth, and long-lasting aromatics. The Pinot Noirs—especially those from Assmannshausen—captivate with their silky structure, fine acidity, and characterful fruit.

A particular highlight is Krone Assmannshausen, a partner since 2007 and a full member of Wegeler since 2014. In 1860, the cellar still in use today was dug 60 meters deep into the Frankenthal rock – perfect conditions for the maturation of first-class Pinot Noir. The vineyards around Assmannshausen, on weathered Taunus phyllite slate and deep loess, are representative of the greatness, elegance, and aging potential of Rheingau red wine.
With a focus on Riesling and Pinot Noir, centuries of experience, modern vision, and unique terroir, Wegeler produces wines that meet the highest standards and are internationally acclaimed.
