For four generations, the Fauth family has been the custodian of the Seehof winery in the idyllic village of Westhofen. Surrounded by iconic vineyards like Kirchspiel and Morstein, the talented Florian Fauth is responsible for crafting some of Rheinhessen's most exciting wines. Each wine bears a signature of clarity, precision, and balance. It is worth noting that Florian is the brother-in-law of Klaus Peter Keller, and the family’s estate shares some of the same iconic vineyard sites, such as Kirchspiel and Morstein. In fact, the Keller and Seehof estates are a mere 10 minutes by car from one another.
It surprises me that these wines still seem to fly somewhat under the radar. However, the Seehof estate is in good company, and Rheinhessen has become a powerhouse in the world of wine. Especially Westhofen has emerged as a melting pot of talent, with Seehof, Wechsler, and Wittmann, to name just a few.
