Adelmann

Producer description of "Weingut Graf Adelmann"

The "Graf Adelmann" winery is located in the municipality of Kleinbottwar (Württembergisch Unterland area) in the German wine-growing region of Württemberg. Viticulture at Schaubeck Castle was first documented over 700 years ago in 1297. In 1914, the castle was inherited by the Count Adelmann family. From 1978, Michael Count Adelmann (1947-2023) took over the business from his father Raban (1912-1992). He is considered a pioneer of German viticulture and was co-founder of the HADES Group (the "A" stands for Adelmann) in 1986, which set itself the goal of exploring the barrique barrel. From 1985 to 1993, he served as president of the VDP-Württemberg. His son Felix Graf Adelmann, the fifth generation of the family, has been responsible for the fortunes of the winery since 2012. Although the estate also includes 60 hectares of agricultural land, this has been leased out since 1990. The wines are not vinified at the castle itself, but in the 500-year-old "Amtskeller" in the municipality of Kleinbottwar, just a few hundred metres from the castle.
