Weingut Volk
Der Mittelrhein gehört zu den wärmsten Landstrichen Deutschlands. Milde Winter sowie früh einsetzende und lang anhaltende Vegetation bilden optimale Voraussetzungen für beste Traubenqualitäten. Seit Anbeginn des Weingutes Volk besitzen wir Weinberge in den besten Lagen des Bopparder Hamm. Die nach Süden ausgerichteten Steillagen mit ihrem milden Mikroklima und dem wärme-speichernden Schieferboden sind das ideale Terroir für unsere Reben.
Wie alle Betriebe aus Spay ist auch unser Betrieb aus einem landwirtschaftlichen Gemischtbetrieb hervorgegangen. Der Weinanbau stellte, neben dem Kirschenanbau, eine besondere Herzensangelegenheit unserer Vorfahren dar. Eine weitere Einnahmequelle war die Lotsentätigkeit des Urgroßvaters des Betriebsinhabers, der Schiffe zwischen Spay und St. Goar durch die wechselnden Untiefen des Rheins leitete. Dieser besonderen Tätigkeit verdankt die Familie ihren Spitznamen im Ort, die auch heute noch als die „Steuermann's“ bekannt ist. Ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal, dem wir mit dem Steuerrad in unserem Betriebslogo Rechnung tragen
In globalisierten Märkten mit immer größeren Mengen an uniformen Produkten haben Varianz, Charakter, Neugier, Geduld, Experiment und Überraschungen keinen Platz. Aber bei uns.
Unsere Lagen, das Klima und die Schieferböden sind die Basis einer weltweit einzigartigen Typizität. Wir perfektionieren unser Handwerk, um die natürlichen Anlagen und Potentiale der Weine ans Licht und in die Flasche zu bringen. Nur so entstehen Weine und Sekte, die nicht Trends und Trinkmoden folgen, sondern die sich mit Charakter und Stilistik unterscheidbar machen und Weinfreunden wunderbaren Natur-Genuss versprechen.
Wir machen Wein aus Leidenschaft. Und die dürfen Sie gerne mit uns teilen.
In global markets with increasing amounts of almost identical products, it would appear that there is no place for variety, character or experiments that with curiosity and patience produce surprising results. This is not our opinion and we stand firm in this belief with a clear and constant point of view.
Our location, climate and slate soil are the basis for a worldwide unique variety, and we are perfecting our expertise to bring the natural potential of the wine to fruition.
Only in this way can wines and sparkling wines develop that do not follow drinking trends and fashions but make themselves distinguishable in character and style and promise a wonderful natural treat.
Making wine is our passion and you are welcome to share it with us.

Visitors to the Bopparder Hamm vineyards enjoy spectacular view of the River valley and the steep slopes were our vines grow.
The first Riesling grapes were planted in the 1970s followed by other classic wine grapes.
The slaty soil contributes to the fruit’s ripening and the full development of delicate flavours.
Our perfect climate nurtures the Vineyards bringing exceptional quality to our wines.
