The winery is located in the municipality of Schweigen-Rechtenbach (Südliche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. It was founded in 1964 by Friedel and Günter Scheu, initially as a mixed farm and vine-growing business with less than one hectare of vineyards at the time. Since 2009, it has been run by Klaus Scheu. In summer 2015, the construction of a new vinotheque was completed. The modern building is used for events as well as tastings. The vineyards cover 14 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard Schweigener Sonnenberg. The varieties Riesling (about one third), Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Scheurebe and Gewürztraminer are cultivated with a planting density of about 6,000 vines per hectare. The majority of the area is located on French territory in Alsace in the sub-areas of Raedling and Strohlenberg, which earned the owner the name "The Border Crosser", but this is also meant to refer to the style and vinification of the wines.
