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.

The Hallgarten Trocken marks a new addition to Schregel’s 2023 lineup, made from organically farmed parcels in Hallgarten’s top sites: Hendelberg, Jungfer, and Würzgarten. These higher-elevation, south-facing vineyards are defined by sand, slate, and quartzite soils and produce wines with a cooler, more chiseled profile than those from Rüdesheim. Fermented spontaneously and aged on the lees for seven months in stainless steel, this is unfiltered, unfined, and unmistakably Schregel. Plenty of herbal, salty, and stone fruit lift. Bureaucratic hurdles prevent the word “Hallgarten” from appearing on the label, but the wine speaks clearly for itself.
