Winery Rinke GbR

A winery for career changers with Grand Cru locations on the Upper Moselle and Saar – shell limestone meets slate.

On the Upper Moselle, we are known for our "Gemischte Sätze" on shell limestone – Chardonnay clones (85%) with low yields. The wines produced this way resemble Chablis and other appellations of northern Burgundy, without being copies.

Our steep slopes on the Saar in Wiltinger Klosterberg, Wiltinger Braunfels, and Oberemmeler Altenberg feature a very high population of old vines. Their genetic diversity, paired with low yields, guarantees top-quality Rieslings with typical Saar style. Our Pinot Noirs and Frühburgunder from shell limestone and slate have gained a cult status among connoisseurs. The same applies to our sparkling wines, which we produce with long yeast aging and with low dosage or as Brut Nature. Our vineyards are managed according to organic principles; our work in the cellar is minimalistic and focuses on the omission of interventions in winemaking.

Cellar tours upon request, wine tastings (with accompanying dishes upon request), wine tours with wine tastings by appointment.
