Welcome to Riesling.

We believe that an outstanding Riesling makes you happy. That’s why we only grow Riesling grapes – deliberately, with special care, and with love. We cherish our vines. We pick our grapes very carefully by hand – and that several times per season – in order to collect them at precisely the right degree of ripeness. We make use of our knowledge and a tradition of over 800 years of viticulture, so that our grapes can become the very special Riesling that will make you happy. On some 70 hectares of vineyards we make unique and authentic wines. Nature is on our side as all vineyards around Schloss Vollrads descend down to the Rhine in a southerly direction. Our capital does not only rest in vines and soil alone: Particularly valuable are our staff with their years of experience, because a vineyard is like a living being and wants to be treated accordingly. Schloss Vollrads and its staff will do everything they can to make wine an experience for you. Here, art, culture, cuisine and wine cellar complement each other. Please visit us and find out more.

Clos du Jardin

IMG-20220127-WA0008

Ever since members of the Greiffenclau family sold wine to the St. Viktor monastery in Mainz for the first time in 1211, the cultivation of Riesling in the vineyards of Schloss Vollrads has developed steadily. 800 years later, we were able to celebrate our anniversary as one of the oldest wineries in Germany. On this occasion, our loyal partners in the trade and the restaurant and catering industry as well as our global importers joined us in the Rheingau in 2011 to each plant a Riesling vine in the former nursery Clos du Jardin. Together we symbolically created the basis for the continuing positive development of Schloss Vollrads.

    

100% Riesling – our range of wines

Flaschensortiment 2024

The distinctive flavour of the Schloss Vollrads Riesling wines can be attributed to our unique terroir: In the Rheingau, six different geological formations form layers of one structure which provides the vine roots with a variety of minerals.
We make ten to fifteen different wines from our Riesling grapes per year, from estate wines to Kabinett and Edition to Spätlese (late harvest) and Auslese (special selection). If the conditions are right, we also produce wines of special quality such as Trockenbeerenauslese (dry berry selection) or ice wine.

Even in our simple estate wines we wish to demonstrate class and offer a quality wine which will succeed in making those love wine who hitherto have only drunk wine occasionally.
Incidentally, the tradition of the Kabinett wines was established at Schloss Vollrads in 1716: Particularly good wines of a vintage were stored in the “Cabinet” cellars. Even today, internationally renowned Riesling wines mature to completion in the winery.

Rheingau Riesling

``Sommer`` Rheingau Riesling Qualitätswein dry

Designed for carefree summer moments, the Sommer Riesling from Schloss Vollrads embodies the spirit of warm days and relaxed enjoyment. With light color and a bright bouquet, this wine opens with zesty citrus, Summercrisp apple and juicy vineyard peach aromas, complemented by delicate floral notes that evoke sunshine and breeze.

Lively acidity and refreshing fruit flavours of lime, citrus and peach shine through, giving the wine an uplifting, spritz-like freshness. Its moderate alcohol and harmonious structure make it an effortlessly drinkable, terrace-friendly Riesling — perfect on its own or paired with light summer dishes, grilled seafood, salads and gentle flavours.

``Volratz`` Rheingau Riesling Qualitätswein dry

Distinguished by its stylish, vintage-inspired label, the Volratz Riesling pays tribute to history. The label features the oldest known pictorial representation of Schloss Vollrads, taken from a map tracing the course of the River Rhine dated 1573—when the estate was still known as Volratz.

In the glass, the Volratz Riesling delights with juicy notes of citrus fruits and crisp Granny Smith apples, lending the wine its vibrant freshness and lively character. These bright aromas are beautifully balanced by a pronounced minerality, resulting in an expressive yet effortlessly enjoyable Riesling that leaves a lasting impression

Estate Riesling / VDP.GUTSWEIN

Riesling Qualitätswein VDP.GUTSWEIN dry | semi-dry | sweet

Classic Schloss Vollrads and classic Rheingau — this is what the Gutswein Rieslings stand for. Crafted from estate-owned vineyards, these wines represent the authentic house style of Schloss Vollrads and the unmistakable character of the Rheingau.

As entry-level wines of the highest standard, the Gutsweine offer clarity, balance, and approachability. They are wonderful companions to food, yet equally enjoyable on their own. Ranging from dry to delicately fruity-sweet, they invite everyday enjoyment while awakening the palate and creating anticipation for the next sip.

EDITION VDP.GUTSWEIN semi-dry

The EDITION wine is a selection made by the team at Schloss Vollrads. Chosen collectively by the estate’s colleagues, it reflects the style and character that resonates most strongly within the house.
This wine represents what the majority of the Schloss Vollrads team truly enjoys: a harmonious balance of freshness, expression, and drinkability. Approachable yet distinctive, the EDITION stands for shared taste, and the pleasure of enjoying wine together.

Winkel Village Riesling / VDP.ORTSWEIN

Winkel Riesling dry

The Schloss Vollrads Winkel Riesling trocken reflects its origins in the historic village of Winkel, at the heart of the Rheingau. Shaped by the region’s distinctive soils and climate, this wine expresses a clear sense of place and tradition.

In the glass, it presents a crisp, dry style with fresh citrus and apple notes, supported by lively acidity and a fine, mineral backbone. Precise and well-balanced, the Winkel Riesling trocken is a versatile food companion and a classic example of Rheingau Riesling, offering both character and everyday elegance.

Winkel Riesling KABINETT semi-dry | sweet

Schloss Vollrads 1716 Cabinet Riesling dry

The 1716 Cabinet Riesling from Schloss Vollrads is a distinctive and expressive wine with historical roots. Created in honour of the estate’s 1716 Cabinet cellar — one of the earliest cellars for reserve wines — this wine bridges tradition and modern winemaking. The name of the cellar Cabinet later becomes the term Kabinett in the VDP classification system.

A cuvée of our finest Grosse Lage (GG) wines and the Winkel Ortswein, the 1716 Cabinet combines depth, structure, and elegance. On the nose, it reveals bright citrus and white fruit aromas, with hints of pink grapefruit, peach, and mineral complexity. The palate is medium-bodied, refined and vibrant, showing refreshing acidity, concentrated fruit, and a subtly salty, mineral backbone that leads to a long, structured finish.

Grand Cru / VDP.GROSSE LAGE®

Schloss Vollrads SCHLOSSBERG Riesling GG VDP.GROSSE LAGE®

Riesling from our Schlossberg plot – part of our Schloss Vollrads monopole vineyard. These old vines boast deep roots and low yields, demanding careful, manual work and sophisticated grape handling.

The wine is fermented spontaneously and aged in traditional German StĂĽckfass barrels, preserving the authentic character of the grapes. The result is a dry premium Riesling with intense, dense body, excellent structure, and backbone. This wine rewards patience, developing its full potential with careful maturation, and reflects the unique character of the Schlossberg terroir.

Schloss Vollrads GREIFFENBERG Riesling GG VDP.GROSSE LAGE®

Riesling from our Greiffenberg plot – one of the most distinguished sites of our Schloss Vollrads monopole vineyard. The venerable vines here are meticulously tended with low yields, allowing each grape to fully express its character.

Fermented spontaneously and matured in traditional German StĂĽckfass barrels, this Riesling is elegant yet powerful, with a well-defined structure and vibrant mineral backbone. Over time, it develops remarkable depth and complexity, revealing the unique personality of the Greiffenberg terroir.

Sparkling Wines / Winzer Sekt

Sekt Brut | extra Brut

Whether for breakfast or a festive occasion – our classic Riesling sparkling wine is always the best choice. With fine bubbles and fruity body, our sparkling wine is a tingling pleasure, simply elegant. Matured to wine, ennobled as sparkling wine: We have been making sparkling wine from our Riesling since at least 1861. That means we have done it for longer than most German producers.

The Nobel Sweet Wines

Auslese | Beerenauslese (BA) | Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA)

Our noble sweet Rieslings capture the essence of the Rheingau in its most expressive form. Carefully harvested from the grapes touched by noble rot — these wines offer a delicate sweetness perfectly balanced by lively acidity, resulting in elegance, freshness, and harmony.

With aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and subtle honeyed notes, each sip reveals layers of flavor and a long, refined finish. Ideal as a dessert companion, with fine cheeses, or savored on their own, these wines exemplify Schloss Vollrads’ tradition of precision, finesse, and timeless quality.

The range includes Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA), and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA).
