History & Heritage

Sektkellerei Ohlig was founded in 1919 by Anton Ohlig in Rüdesheim am Rhein, in the Rheingau, and later joined by the Kloss family, who have carried on its traditional-method sparkling wine for four generations. Ohlig owns no vineyards. Instead it works with neighboring family growers who farm with care for the environment but lack the means to make sparkling wine themselves, among them Carl Ehrhard, Walter Rapp, Mohr and Schlossmühlenhof. Their base wines are bottled, aged at least nine months on the lees, riddled and disgorged in Ohlig’s century-old cellar. The house believes a well-made cuvée is more balanced than its parts, and its “Latitude 50°” Sekts, named for the northern latitude of the vineyards, are made for any day, not just celebrations.
