About Weingut August Perll
Weingut August Perll is a family-owned winery in Boppard on the Middle Rhine, with roots tracing back to 1606, when the estate's historic Stammhaus was built. Now run by Thomas (August) Perll, the estate farms roughly ten hectares of steep, slate-soiled vineyards within the Bopparder Hamm — one of the largest contiguous vineyard sites on the Middle Rhine — including the parcels Mandelstein, Feuerlay, Ohlenberg and Fässerlay. Riesling is the overwhelming focus, vinified across the full spectrum from dry to nobly sweet styles including Beerenauslese and Eiswein, alongside small plantings of Spätburgunder, Grauburgunder, Weißburgunder and Müller-Thurgau. All work on the up-to-70%-gradient slopes is done by hand, with minimal cellar intervention. The estate has received Germany's Staatsehrenpreis and, on 24 occasions, the Bundesehrenpreis.
Who Is This For?
For drinkers who want traditional, slate-driven Middle Rhine Riesling across the full dry-to-sweet spectrum, made by a small hand-harvesting family estate.
