that is surrounded by vineyards that we are passionate about. Our vines depend on us just as much as we depend on them – we exchange ideas – silently, as you can imagine, but always respectfully and in awe of the vines' ability to unfold aromas, scents and flavours from the depths of the shell-bearing limestone. The work in the vineyard is determined by the harmonious, natural rhythm between budding, harvesting and pruning. Our vineyard is located in the heart of Escherndorf, where each house nestles close to the next, so we literally live between water and wine. Below us, the River Main forms a majestic loop and above us we see our vines on the Lump hillside. Our workplace is right beside Mother Nature. The vines extract new life every year from the chalky limestone of the Tertiary period.

for generations, we have lived in Escherndorf, a typical Franconian ribbon development, and have continually developed our idea of elegant wines that are full of character in creative interaction with generations. Producing wine is a family tradition for us. Our work revolves throughout the year around the fantastic opportunities that nature and the unique Escherndorf terroir offer us. This is the source of our strength and the vision to bring out the best of the shell limestone in our wines. When it contacts the mouth and palate and provides a pleasurable experience, we know it is good.
