About

Even 150 years after its foundation, Balthasar Ress is still wholly owned by the Ress family. Since 2010, Christian has been responsible for the management of the company and since 2014, Oliver Schmid has been the vineyard manager. Together, they develop what Balthasar Ress wines are today: Uncompromising quality and respect for nature.

Some 78% of the productive vineyard area is planted with Riesling; 12% with Pinot Noir. Balthasar Ress produces approx. 250,000 bottles of wine yearly. The estate has obtained organic certification since 2019 and hasn't used any herbicides since 2010.
