Englerth Sebastian

The German vineyard owner, innkeeper and wine merchant Sebastian Englerth (1804-1880) from Randersacker in Franconia is considered an important winegrowing pioneer. After training in his parents' wine-growing business, he attended further education courses at the central school of the Polytechnic Association and continued his education in viticulture, winemaking, agriculture and economics. After the death of his father, he devoted himself entirely to viticulture.

In 1836, he founded his own vine nursery, where he propagated previously selected Silvaner, Riesling and Traminer vines alongside table grapes. He was also active as a breeder, by selection after propagation by seed. This is how he bred the Bukett vine in 1864. His extensive range of vines comprised 140 grape varieties.
