Weingüter Wegeler
Since 1882, Wegeler has been synonymous with excellent winegrowing in Germany. Today, the fourth generation runs the family business with a blend of tradition, foresight, and genuine passion—especially for Riesling, complemented by a small proportion 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.
Producer
Paladin
The vineyards of the Paladin winery are located in the border area between the Eastern Veneto and Friuli, where wine was already being grown in Roman times. At that time, the wines of this area were shipped in amphorae from the nearby sea ports to Rome, as reported by the historian Pliny.
Weingut Polz
The family vineyard of Erich Polz is situated in an idyllic field in the middle of hilly Southern Styria, about an hour’s drive south of Graz. The business was originally founded in 1912. In the late 1980s, the brothers took over their parents’ vineyard. Christoph Polz, Erich’s son, became the fourth generation to assume the role of winemaker in 2011.
Domaine Julien Brocard
The seven vineyards - Chablis "naturally"
Julien Brocard's domaine is located in Préhy, just a few kilometres from the town of Chablis in northern Burgundy. The aim of the domaine is to bring out the true character of the wines without any distortion, and for this purpose the vines have been cultivated biodynamically since 2011.
