The winery is located on the outskirts of Offenburg (Ortenau area) in the German wine-growing region of Baden. The history goes back to the 13th century to the then owners, the Knights of Bach. The oldest records of viticulture date back to 1517. Through marriage, the vineyards came into the possession of the eponymous noble family, the Barons von und zu Franckenstein from Ullstadt, in 1710. From 1985 to 2007, the vineyard was leased to Hubert Doll. After studies in Geisenheim and an internship in New Zealand at the "Johner Estate" with Karl-Heinz Johner, the business was taken over by Stefan Huschle in 2008. The vineyards comprise 17.5 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Schützenberg in sole ownership (Berghaupten), Abtsberg and in sole ownership Neugesetz (Zell-Weierbach), and also in sole ownership Gut Alsenhof (Lauf). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling, Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Traminer, as well as Pinot Noir.
