Winery Laquai
In 1950, Paul Laquai, the father of Gundolf and Gilbert, took over the Laquai winery together with his wife Cilli and began to continuously modernize and expand it after the difficult war years.
In 1990, the brothers Gundolf and Gilbert took over their parents’ winery, Gundolf as a graduate engineer for viticulture and oenology, Gilbert as a technician for viticulture and cellar management.
The desire for something new and the preservation of a centuries-old culture go hand in hand at Weingut Laquai. In 2007, it was the first winery in the Rheingau to create transverse terraces and recultivate 13 hectares of old steep slopes. The preservation of the unique cultural landscape and modern, near-natural cultivation with an almost closed cycle have been a central concern for many years.
“We have been growing grapes in Schloßböckelheim for 7 generations. For us, sustainability means treating people and the environment in such a way that we will still be able to do so in seven generations’ time.”

Philosophy
A symbiosis of French elegance, traditional craftsmanship and innovative thinking. In doing so, the company always returns to its roots. Even deeper, to the diverse soils in which these roots grow. And soils are volatile, as anyone who has travelled the infamous Dust Belt or seen gullies in fertile farmland after a summer thunderstorm knows. This is why the Klein & Sohn winery favours the careful use of resources, the promotion of biodiversity through a wide range of greenery in the vineyard and the targeted questioning of the status quo. So that the best can be teased out of every type of soil.
