The Klein & Sohn winery was founded in 1786 in the small wine village of Schloßböckelheim on the Nahe. Until the 1990s, Wolfgang, Véronique and Johann ran the business as a classic mixed farm, but today they focus 100% on wine. A great deal of attention is paid to excellent Rieslings, which have been joined by another genuine type in the wake of climate change and Wolfgang’s Francophilia: Cabernet Sauvignon.
“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.”

Klein & Sohn Winery
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.
