Made the classic way
In the cellar beneath the hotel
The Spätburgunder is fermented on the mash and matures in old wooden casks. Alongside: Weißherbst, the house’s own Sekt and a Riesling brandy. The 2026 harvest is in.
Above the bend of the Rhine at AssmannshausenWeinhaus Karl Schön
Spätburgunder and Riesling from Assmannshausen, since 1752.
The Schön family has been making wine in Assmannshausen since 1752. Around five hectares of vineyards belong to it, in Assmannshausen and Rüdesheim, many of them steep slopes above the Rhine. The family tends part of them itself; the rest is leased out.
The wines are pressed in the cellar beneath the hotel. Since July 2026 Wiebke and Robin have run the hotel, while the Weinhaus remains with Karl Schön – and his wines stay in the house.
