Baron von Gleichenstein

Producer description of "Weingut Freiherr von Gleichenstein"

The traditional winery is located in the heart of the Kaiserstuhl in the municipality of Oberrotweil in the German wine-growing region of Baden. The origins of the traditional winery date back to 1634, when the Gleichenstein noble family acquired the buildings and lands of the Benedictine monastery of St. Blasien in what was then Rothwyl, along with the tithe rights. After the early death of his father, Baron Hans Joachim von Gleichenstein transformed the mixed farm into a winery in 1959. In 2003, the winery was completely handed over to his son Johannes von Gleichenstein and his wife Chrissi, already the eleventh generation of the family. They are supported by field manager Franz Galli, cellar master Johannes Köster and sales manager & sommelier Sebastian Wilkens, as well as 11 other members of the team.
