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 Bischofsberg Riesling comes from one of the Rheingau’s most historic vineyards, named after Archbishop Siegfried of Mainz, who helped initiate viticulture here in the 11th century. Today, Alexander Schregel brings fresh life to these south-facing slopes of loess-loam and quartzite.

Grapes were crushed and macerated for four hours before fermenting with native yeasts, then aged for 10 months on the lees in stainless steel and one well-used barrel. This is unfiltered, unfined riesling in its purest form showing both textural and mineral, with a luminous structure and a reverberating depth that reveals itself slowly with air.
