Schloss Vaux, established in 1868, is a renowned German sparkling wine producer located in Eltville in the Rheingau region. They are known for crafting high-quality Sekt using the traditional method, like Champagne. While they once produced sparkling wine in France, after World War I, production shifted to the Rheingau, where they leverage the region's excellent terroir and long-standing relationships with top growers for their grapes. Schloss Vaux sparkling wines are appreciated for their elegance, freshness, and fine mousse, often showcasing notes of citrus, apple, and pear, with a hint of yeasty complexity from extended lees contact.
