About us
Our wines are an expression of origin, teamwork, inspiration, and craftsmanship.
We view everything as a unified whole—from the microbiome shaped by vineyard soil management to the microflora driving spontaneous fermentation in old wooden barrels. Each vineyard develops its own distinct character. We cultivate numerous small plots in prime locations across Fellbach and the Remstal valley, many of those are situated at altitudes above 400 meters, each with its own unique soil profile and microclimate.
Our minimally interventionist approach in the cellar—which relies primarily on the element of time—aims to produce wines with a distinctive character, freshness, and longevity. This entails aligning our work with lunar cycles and weather patterns, as well as employing little to no filtration or added sulfur.
For a long time, our estate has been recognized in all major wine publications as one of Germanys absolute top producers. In 2006, we became the youngest estate to be admitted to the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates). We have been certified organic since 2013, and for several years, the estate has been a member of the highly renowned international winegrowers' group "respekt-BIODYN." The 2024 vintage marked our first to be officially certified biodynamic.
