Weingut Fritz Allendorf Save Water Drink Riesling Dry Rheingau 2022 750 ML

If you want to trace the roots of the family, you need to go back a long way: it’s in 1292 that we first find mention of “Kraft von Allendorf”, whose burial place can be admired today in the Basilica of the Eberbach Monastery. The wine story began when Philipp Anton Allendorf laid the foundation for the winery in 1773 which has been family-run ever since. More than 200 years passed before you could actually talk about the “Weingut Allendorf” (Allendorf Wine Estate).The family moved from the small manor house in Winkel’s main street into the heart of the vineyards, laying the foundation for the “Georgshof”, which is named after Uli’s and Christel’s grandfather. Georg Allendorf had presided over the Frankfurt City agricultural holdings and the city’s wine estate located in Hochheim. At the same time, he also continued the family tradition at the wine estate in Winkel.Even as a small boy Uli’s dream was to be a winemaker. And the passion for the craft of this cosmopolitan lateral thinker is unswerving as he travels the world representing the family brand. Uli began managing the wine estate in 1996 following the sudden death of his father, Fritz. The graduate oenologist is the driving force behind enhancing the quality and style of the wine, supported by his nephew Max, and brother-in-law Josef. Uli loves mature Rieslings and always has time to illustrate to visitors the different varieties of the Rieslings with a touch of humour.
