The wine estate Riffel is located in Bingen in the north-western part of Rheinhessen. Carolin and Erik Riffel developed the very long family owned agricultural site to an estate, which is now well recognized in Germany and expanded to 15 ha now. The vineyards are located around Büdesheim, the estate is located in the middle of the small town. They produce their grapes biodynamically and ecologically certified. Their main focus is based on the single vineyard Scharlachberg. In the end of the last century nobody recognized it, but Erik and Carolin recultivated the Scharlachberg with its QUARZIT - soil to the name it was in the former years. The wines they produce are very mineral, brilliant and with an elegant style! Even there is a spontaneous note in most of the wines! Very expressive and long lasting! The main focus of Erik Riffel is: „Producing wines with a burning ambition for excellent ecological wines - together with nature and with individuality and respect to our Scharlachberg!“
