2020 Schloss Vollrads Riesling Kabinett Rheingau

Schloss Vollrads is one of Germany’s most historic and important wine estates, with a winemaking tradition dating back more than 800 years. Located in the Rheingau, the estate takes its name from the imposing castle at its center, whose origins date to the 13th century. Wine from Schloss Vollrads was being commercially documented as early as 1211, making it one of the oldest continuously operating wine estates in the world. The property has been closely associated with the noble Greiffenclau family for centuries, and its wines helped establish the Rheingau’s reputation as one of Germany’s premier regions for Riesling. Today, Schloss Vollrads remains a benchmark producer, particularly for its elegant, terroir-driven Rieslings, and its long history, distinctive estate vineyards, and commitment to quality make it an important reference point for understanding the heritage of German wine.
