Toni Jost Bacharacher Hahn Riesling Spatlese 1992

I, Peter Jost, Dipl. Ing. Weinbau, took over the running of the estate from by father Toni in 1975. Out of respect for his father, who had preserved the vineyard through the difficult war and post-war years, he continued to call our estate Toni Jost. Up until then it had been customary to call an estate after the owner, be that Toni, Philip or Adam Jost. In summer 2009 their daughter Cecilia finished her studies at the German wine university of Geisenheim. After practical trainings in Baden, Austria and at least in New Zealand she now is the sixth generation to join the estate.

The family has been cultivating vineyards in Bacharach for 180 years. At all times, the focus has been on acquiring areas in Bacharach's top site, the so-called Hahn. Today, after five generations, this site is almost exclusively ours, which also explains the name for our estate, Hahnenhof. Today the estate covers 15 hectares of vineyards, 80% Riesling, 15% Spätburgunder, plus a parcel of Weißburgunder and a parcel of Dunkelfelder
