Winemaking in our family has been proudly handed down through the generations, and is currently in the capable hands of Michael Schönleber whose expertise in his profession is acknowledged by a diploma in viticultre from the world-famous Hochschule Geisenheim University. We are passionate about winemaking and the quality of our product is recognised by the awards we receive for our wine at regional, national and international tastings. We specialise in making wines from Riesling grapes, which in the Rheingau region of Germany grow particularly well and take on flavours and aromas that are reminiscent of peaches, apricots and citrus fruits. However, we also make wine from Pinot noir as well as new grape variety known as Dakapo that was developped in Geisenheim and was licensed for winemaking in the year 2000. Since 2015 we grow historic grape variety Gelber Orleans.
