About us
Riffel is a family winery in Germany's famous winegrowing area Rheinhessen. Located at the confluence of the Rhein and Nahe rivers in Bingen am Rhein, the winery has been run by Carolin and Erik Riffel since 2005.
Riffel cultivates wine in the fourth generation, with Erik Riffel becoming cellar master in 1991 after his training as a vintner. The winery follows organic principles since 2009 and converted to biodynamic viticulture in 2012.
Riffel owns 18 hectares of vineyards and produce Riesling, Silvaner and Burgunder in top sites: the Grand Cru vineyards Scharlachberg and Kirchberg, Rosengarten, Osterberg and Bubenstück. Quartzite soils lend the wines a unique character with an intense minerality.
