Our grandparents Hedwig and Karl bought the first two hectares in 1952 and sold their wine by the barrel. Today we farm fourteen, and bottle every drop ourselves.
The year in the vineyard
Winter
We prune every vine by hand in January and February, leaving one cane and a few buds for the year.
Summer
In June we thin the leaves around the grapes so the morning sun and the wind can reach them.
Autumn
From late September we pick by hand, site by site, and press each crate within the hour.

Started bottling the estate’s wine in 1978 and still drives at every harvest.

Buy by the case
Every wine comes as a single bottle, a case of 6 or a case of 12. Cases ship in one box and save about five percent.
