Steitz Winery – Children of Rheinhessen

Christian and Diana Steitz have taken on a lot in recent years. In 2015, nine years ago, the two completely took over the winery from Christian's parents. It began with the redesign of the labels and a new homepage. This was followed by major renovations at the winery and in the newly designed guest rooms, but the upheaval went much deeper. Christian Steitz has found his own style, taking increasingly natural approaches to winemaking, experimenting with orange wines and Prädikatsweine. A great development that we have been privileged to witness for more than 15 years. Straightforward, unadulterated and authentic with a clear focus on the essentials - these are wines from the Steitz winery. Since the 2022 vintage, the winery has been organic certified. With the new 2024 vintage, son Finn, the next generation at the Steitz winery, is working on true origin wines from Rheinhessen.
