Fred and Sabine Prinz and their estate is indeed a revelation. It started as the archetypal “garage estate” when Fred started making small batches of wine under the house in 1991, whilst he was the full-time winemaker at the Kloster Erberbach estate. By 2004 they had their own plots, and Fred started nurturing the vines and making his wine as a full-time vocation. The 9.2ha estate is totally organic and Fred makes wines that have the flavour intensity from perfectly grown, “low-yield” and carefully-ripened grapes, combined with texture from skin-contact maceration. The deep concentration and slight chewy texture of the wines is offset by the extreme precision thanks to the high-altitude sites that are set back from the Rhine. In these locations the cooler temperature gives grapes that retain acidity and have more focus.
