The proprietor of Weingut Prinz, Fred Prinz, made a name for himself as the top part-time winemaker in the Rheingau, while maintaining his day job as the winemaker at the Rheingau's largest estate, Kloster Eberbach. Since September of 2004, Mr. Prinz has devoted his energies full-time to making superb wines under the Prinz label only. This is only the beginning for this exceptional boutique German winery.

Rheingau Riesling Trocken
From vineyards above the Rhein River comes this wonderful dry Riesling at an affordable price! Flowers on the nose. Bright apples and pears on the palate with well-balanced acidity. 8 grams of sugar. Refreshing and very food friendly.
Hallgartner Jungfer Riesling Kabinett
Bursting with fruit: ripe peaches and apples with good acidity for a good zippy finish. Fantastic!!
Hallgartner Jungfer Riesling Spatlese
On the nose, citrus and tropical fruits with a little botrytis on the edges. Fully ripe peaches and golden delicious apples on the palate. Enough acidity to balance out any sweetness.
Hallgartner Jungfer Riesling Goldkapsel
The goldkapsel comes from the original part of the Hallgartner Jungfer vineyard. 15% of the grapes were infected with botrytis. Super intense! Ripe peaches, apricots and honey. Somewhat viscous. Creamy finish.
