The winery is located in the municipality of Heilbronn in the German wine-growing region of Württemberg. It was founded in 1496 on the outskirts of Heilbronn by Jodokus Drautz. By imperial edict, he was granted the right to seal with the family coat of arms of the two grapes. The double name was created in 1960 through the marriage of Christel Drautz and Martin Able. Today, the winery is run by Monika Drautz and her son Markus Drautz. The cellar management and external operations were relocated to the vineyards, where a newly built modern wine cellar was put into operation in 1983. The vineyards cover 16 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Stiftsberg and Wartberg (Heilbronn), Scheuerberg (Neckarsulm) and Katzenbeisser (Lauffen).
