Staffelter Hof

Staffelter Hof Wine

The Staffelter Hof was first found in documents that dated 862 AD. It has been in the current family however since 1805 when they bought it from Napoleon’s government. Quite a few of the oldest estates in the region began their journey in a similar fashion. Since then, the winery has been handed down from generation to generation of the same family. It was primarily a bulk wine production until the late 50’s when current winemaker Jan Klein’s grandfather took over the winemaking.

Jan Mattias Klein took over from his father in 2005 as a winemaker (aged 28). He continued to make classic Rieslings for a few years but in 2010. He converted all of the vineyards to organic and moving to a more minimal style of winemaking. The viticulture has been 100% organic since the 2012 vintage, and the estate is now certified as of 2014.
