Weingut Thörle is a 16th century estate (1517) in the village of Saulheim in the bullseye center of the Rheinhessen. Since 2006 it has been under the ownership of brothers Christoph and Johannes Thörle who manage 19ha in three grand cru vineyards: Saulheimer Hölle, Saulheimer Schlossberg, and Saulheimer Probstey. The soils are a mix of calcareous limestone and clay with loess top soils. They farm organically here, DE certified as of 2022, growing Riesling, Silvaner, and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). Vinifications are primarily in small French barrels. Their dry Rieslings are firm and commanding, ripe-fruited yet precise as needlepoint in their minerality. As far as the wine world is concerned, however, this is one of the greatest Pinot Noir estates in Germany. Their grand crus are opulent, terroir-expressive and beautifully balanced.
