our company’s philosophy:

We are giving the vine from Saale and Unstrut a home and we’re staying in a thousand-year-old tradition of viticulture. In 1934, 27 wine-grower founded the wine-growing association because this viticulture was threatened to die out. Because of this union grapes could grow especially near the river valleys, so we could keep our traditional landscape with their terraces and vineyards.

As the biggest wine company in the middle of Germany we stay for quality and distinctiveness. Therefore are 420 members who are take care of an area from 400 hectare. Which is 50 % of the wine-growing-region. Approximately 3 million bottles of wine are going to be produced in ultra-modern cellar facilities in the wine-growing association every year. The historical wood barrel cellar is the largest of its kind in Germany.
