With wines ranging from Gewurztraminer to Gluhwein, we are sure you will find the perfect wine for any occasion with St. Christopher.

St. Christopher was founded in 1992 with the single goal of producing, bottling, and introducing the wines of Germany to the world of wine. These wines came from the collaboration between Manfred Bauer and Gunther Schlink with the idea of sourcing the best Germany has to offer under one brand. All the wines are sourced from contract growers across 5 different German wine growing regions and the name “St. Christopher” stems from the Catholic Saint regarded as the “guardian of travelers”. Today, wine is an international conversation connecting people with our earth, culture and history. 

REGION

Germany's largest wine region, Rheinhessen, lies in a valley of gentle rolling hills. While vines are virtually a monoculture in the Rheingau or along the Mosel, they are but one of many crops that share the fertile soils of this region's vast farmlands. Wine has been grown here on the left bank of the Rhine since the Romans, and the oldest document about a German vineyard location - the Niersteiner Glöck - concerns a wine location in Rheinhessen.

The Mosel River is the sinuous spine of the Mosel region, changing direction so often as it flows northeast toward the Rhine that it meanders nearly 250 km, to cover about half that distance as the crow flies. Together with its two small tributaries, the Saar and the Ruwer, the Mosel composes one wine growing region, considered the oldest in Germany. Countless finds, including several wine presses from Roman times, testify to the long history of viticulture here and the large scale of its introduction by the Romans.
