Wegeler (Rheingau) Estate
Rheingau, Germany
The largest holdings for Wegeler are in the Rheingau (for Mosel property see: Wegeler MSR) where the family holds over 138 acres of property spread amongst the villages of Oestrich, Hallgarten, Mittelheim, Winkel, Johannisberg, Geisenheim, and Rüdesheim.
These vineyards are planted 99% to Riesling.
It is here that in 1882 Julius Wegeler acquired his very first vineyards in the Berg Rottland and Berg Roseneck sites of the Rüdesheimer Berg. The principal offices for the Wegeler estates are in the Rheingau village of Oestrich.
One of the Wegeler success stories has been Geheimrat "J." wine named in memory of privy councilor Julius Wegeler, the founder of the Wegeler estates, it has become the most ubiquitous dry Riesling in Germany's top restaurants.
The Wegeler's also have property in the Pfalz. The 34.5 acres of vineyard holdings are on a long term lease (since 1973) from the Dr. Deinhard estate. They're planted 92% to Riesling and are located in the villages of Forst, Deidesheim, and Ruppertsberg. These holdings, as well as those from von Buhl and Bassermann-Jordan estates, were part of the original Jordan estate.
Both in the Pfalz and in the Rheingau, J. Wegeler estates are also members of the V.D.P.
