Prinz
This tiny home winery started out in 1991 as a little side venture for the former Staatsweingut sales manager. But Fred Prinz has emerged as Germany’s, or at least the Rheingau’s, premier “garage winemaker”. Due to their higher elevation and because they're set back from the river, Fred's vineyards, specifically Jungfer & Schönhell, tend toward a finer more elegant style than one expects from typical Rheingau wines.
