In the family, viniculture has been tradition since 1708. A tradition that has been cultivating in the vineyards as well as in the house which was built back in 1830. For generations, they’ve been admiring and respecting nature, because it’s her who forms the basis for the winery's daily work.
The wine obtains a distinctive character through a close to nature crop growing in the vineyard and a nature-oriented wine production.

The “Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter” (VDP) (a consortium of good wine businesses in Germany) accepted us as a member of the wine region Nahe in 1992.
For generations, it has been our claim to produce wine of highest quality.
