Passion for Riesling and Pinot Noir.
Weingüter Wegeler is a family-run business founded in 1882 and has two winery sites on the Rhine and Mosel rivers, all of which focus on Riesling. In 2007, the addition of the 4-hectare Krone estate at Assmannshausen contributed a small but fine share of Pinot Noir to the line-up.
Julius Wegeler was a wine merchant and sparkling wine producer at Deinhard before he also established himself as a winemaker. The decision to produce wine must be seen from the perspective of a merchant and trader, based on the trading practices of the time: The quality of a wine was inextricably linked to its origin and its maturity. Young wine in today's sense was usually left on the lees for at least two winters, while outstanding vintages were kept in the cellar for much longer. To make great wine, Wegeler needed not only capital, but also foresight, cool storage space and the most precious commodity of all: Time.
