Weingut Josef Spreitzer

Weingut Josef Spreitzer is a family-owned German wine estate located in Oestrich in the Rheingau wine region. It is one of the oldest operations in Oestrich, with grape processing documented since 1641, and a vaulted wine cellar built in 1743 still in use today. The estate has been a member of the Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter (VDP) since 1999 and of the Charta-Weingüter since 1988. Since 1997, the estate has been run by brothers Andreas and Bernd Spreitzer, who took over from their father Bernhard Spreitzer. Andreas serves as cellar master and vineyard manager, while Bernd is the operations manager and commercial director. Together they have developed a distinctive style that balances lightness and concentration — filigree, elegant and finessed on one hand, concentrated, dense and long on the other. The estate farms 24 hectares of vineyards, 97% planted with Riesling and 3% with Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). Viticulture is practiced close to nature, with cover cropping between rows and sown winter grain. The most famous vineyard sites include Doosberg, Oestricher Lenchen, Winkeler Jesuitengarten and Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen. Prädikat wines are hand-harvested, and the must is pre-clarified before fermentation, preferably spontaneous, in wooden barrels and temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wines are produced in dry, semi-dry and fruity styles. The estate's noble sweet and ice wines regularly receive high ratings in wine guides. In 2005, the estate was first awarded four Gault-Millau grapes, placing it among the leading quality wine estates in the Rheingau. The 2014 Gault-Millau WeinGuide Deutschland gave 4 out of 5 grapes, and Gerhard Eichelmann's Deutschlands Weine 2014 awarded 4 out of 5 stars. The winery is based in a renovated Gründerzeit villa near the Rhine, with the historic vaulted cellar used for wine storage. The estate sells its wines directly, including free shipping within Germany for orders of 12 bottles or more, as announced in March 2020.
