Schloss Neuweier

Producer description of "Weingut Schloss Neuweier"

The winery is located in the municipality of Neuweier (Ortenau area) in the German wine-growing region of . The origin of the castle dates back to the 12th century. In 1785, the former lord of the castle, Baron Philipp Franz von Knebel-Katzenellenbogen (1733-1816), had "Niersteiner and Laubenheimer vines" (Riesling) planted in his vineyards. Furthermore, he had the Rieslings from the Mauerberg vineyard bottled in (this exemption for the use of the bottle form otherwise reserved for Franconia still applies today). In 1992, the castle was extensively renovated. In addition, major investments were made in the cellar technology. In the mid-1990s, right next to the core vineyard, which is supported by dry stone walls, a prime piece of land - the "Golden Loch" - was developed in the Mauerberg, which until then had lain fallow and was threatened by landslides due to a layer of clay at a depth of 20 metres, and provided with transverse terraces. Since 2012, it has been owned by the Schätzle family.
