Production
Following a 500 year old family tradition, Rainer Schnaitmann has been producing wines under his own label since1997. He trained at the renowned Geisenheim school, and vineyard work in New Zealand and Alto Adige. The Rems Valley near Stuttgart is an inspiring landscape and home to the vines of Schnaitmann, the highest rated organic winery in the country of Baden-Württemberg. Based in Wurttemberg to the south of Germany where the weather is warmer and the grapes ripen quickly, giving them their intense fruity flavour and vibrant characteristics. Hand harvested grapes from the best VDP classified vineyard sites. Soil is coloured marl, reed sandstone. Traditional fermentation with indigenous yeasts, three weeks on the mash, ageing in (60%) new and (40%) used oak barrels of 300 litres. Bottled unfiltered and unfined.
