In the storied vineyards of the Rheingau, Alexander Schregel is forging his own path—one that honors tradition while boldly defying it. Raised in the vines and trained at Geisenheim, he cut his teeth managing 130 hectares at Josef Leitz before staking his claim on just 1.5 hectares in Rüdesheim’s most revered sites. He farms organically and biodynamically, harvesting by hand and letting each vintage speak for itself. In the cellar, he rejects rigid German winemaking conventions—allowing spontaneous fermentations, embracing natural fluctuations, and foregoing fining and filtration. The result? Rieslings and spätburgunders that pulse with energy, texture, and purity.

This wine comes from a southwest-facing slope in the lesser-known village of Lorch, just above the ruins of Castle Nollig. The vineyard’s mix of slate and limestone is rare in the Rheingau and brings a mineral clarity to the wine’s firm structure. Whole clusters are pressed and fermented with native yeasts, then aged on the lees for nearly a year in stainless steel with no fining, no filtration, and no blocking of malo.

What results is a riesling of quiet tension and detail, marked by stone fruit, crushed herbs, and a wash of salinity on the finish. A new site for Schregel, it’s already producing standout wines, albeit in tiny quantities.
