The Best Vineyards in Germany's Moselle Region

This small vineyard dates back to 1121. The Schäfer family mostly relies on their trained sense of taste and their gut instinct when it comes to determining the best time to harvest each section of their vines. The family exclusively produces Riesling on their 4.2 hectares of land which are characterised by a perfect balance between acidity and structure. The critically-acclaimed wines are being distributed all over the world. If you would like to taste the wine on-site, be sure to book an appointment beforehand.

In 1990 Swiss Daniel Vollenweider fulfilled his dream of managing his own vineyard. Since then he’s expanded his lands from only one hectare to five and climbed the ladder to the top of prestigious Moselle wines. His portfolio is composed of dry and sweet Rieslings which are available from wine shops across Germany as well as internationally. For visits and tastings, contact the vineyard via the online contact form.

At only 20 years of age, Markus Molitor took over this vineyard from his father. Following his lead, the winemaker mostly produces Riesling. He aspires to produce wines that each reflect the distinct qualities of the terroir the vines grew on – and with 15 parcels of land across the region, he has a lot to experiment with. The key to his success is the uncompromising selection when it comes to harvesting and the maturing process. Between 2009 and 2012, he renovated the Haus Klosterberg estate manor entirely, mixing historical and modern elements. Guests can visit the beautiful vineyard throughout the week, and tastings of a selection of wines can be arranged.
