Thörle

The Thörle family’s winegrowing history in Saulheim, Rheinhessen, dates to 1517. Brothers Johannes and Christoph took over the winery in 2006, focusing on Riesling, Silvaner and the Pinot varieties. They farm roughly 28 hectares organically, including the limestone-rich Hölle, Schlossberg and Probstey vineyards.

Work among the vines includes canopy management, yield reduction and harvesting by hand. Fermentations use native yeasts, with stainless steel and wooden vessels chosen to suit each wine.
