The Sekthaus is located in the municipality of Bensheim in the German wine-growing region of Hessische Bergstraße. In 2013, the building, which was built in 1904 by the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt and owned by the Hessian State Wine Estates, was purchased by the married couple Jürgen Streit and Petra Greißl-Streit and the first sparkling wine house on the Hessian Bergstrasse was founded. The Bensheim properties Hotel Halber Mond, the Wambolter Hof and the Renaissance castle in the Schöneberg district also belong to the service entrepreneur Jürgen Streit.

Griesel & Compagnie - Weinberge Hessische Bergstraße

Vineyards

In the beginning, the grapes were bought from friendly winegrowers. Today, the company cultivates 15 hectares of its own vineyards in the single vineyard sites Höllberg and Fürstenlager (Auerbach), Hahnberg, Kalkgasse, Paulus and Streichling (Bensheim), as well as Steingeröll (Zwingenberg). They are planted with Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. Cellar masters Niko Brandner and Rachele Crosara are responsible for ageing the base wines and producing the sparkling wine in the old cross-vaulted cellar deep in the Griesel mountain.
