The winery is located in the municipality of Dernau in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. It was founded in 1910 by Gottfried Sebastian. From 1998, the business was run by the sisters Andrea Bertram and Ricarda Sebastian. In 2014, daughter Julia Baltes (formerly Bertram) vinified her first wine line of 1.3 hectares of vines. She has been running the winery together with her husband Benedikt Baltes since 2019. Both come from winegrowing families in the Ahr Valley. After training as winemakers, studying and working in various positions in Germany and abroad, they got to know each other and have been married since 2018. Benedikt Baltes sold his former winery in Klingenberg in 2019. The couple returned to the Ahr Valley and merged the vineyards of the two families into the Bertram-Baltes winery.
