About Weingut Balthasar Ress

The winery is located in the municipality of Hattenheim (Eltville) in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. In 1870, Balthasar Ress founded a commercial enterprise with an inn and wine-growing operations. In 1993, the new winery building "Rheinallee 50" was acquired, where the vinotheque (picture) is also located. The old manor house at "Rheinallee 7" offers an impressive setting for events of all kinds with its renovated fireplace hall, romantic garden and modern lounge. Today, Christian Ress is the fifth generation of the family to run the traditional winery.

Vineyards & grape varieties

The vineyards cover 50 hectares in the single vineyard sites Berg Roseneck, Berg Rottland and Berg Schlossberg (Rüdesheim), Engelmannsberg, Nussbrunnen and Schützenhaus (Hattenheim), as well as Höllenberg (Assmannshausen). They are predominantly planted with the Riesling and Pinot Noir varieties. Since the 2019 vintage, the vineyards have been cultivated according to certified organic viticulture rules.

Ress Balthasar - Vinothek

Product range

The wines are marketed in four lines according to the VDP classification model. Balthasar Ress already used to offer particularly select wines as "Von Unserm". The winery uses this brand for special wines, bottle-fermented sparkling wines and house spirits that meet the highest quality standards. Wines dating back to the 1920s are stored in the treasure trove.

Keitum on the island of Sylt

Since June 2009, the winery has owned a 3,000 m² vineyard in the municipality of Keitum on the island of Sylt. It is the northernmost vineyard in Germany. 1,600 Solaris vines were planted there. As a special feature, a limited number of vines can be sponsored. Since the 2013 vintage, the winery has produced the Schleswig Holstein country wine "Söl'ring-Wein" from Sylt every year together with its vine tenants. The winery is a member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter).

Bottle labels

Bottle labels designed by various artists are a speciality. Catherine and Stefan Ress commissioned their first artist's label (see examples there) from the German painter Heinz te Laake (1925-2001) in 1978. They left the entire bottle free to be designed. The artists are completely free to choose the label paper, printing process and the shape and colour of the bottle capsule. The labels are specially designed for the belly of the bottle and only top wines are labelled with an artist's label.
