Schlossgut Janson

Producer description of "Weingut Schloss Janson"

The winery is located in the municipality of Bockenheim (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. The history of the estate dates back to the 12th century. In the 16th century, Count Emich XI of Leiningen converted the rustic castle into a chateau. After an eventful history, Heinrich Janson acquired the estate together with the fields and vineyards in 1831 and it was given its present name. Of the buildings of that time, only the foundations remain, on which the present wine cellar is located. Since the beginning of the 1980s, the winery has been run purely as a vineyard and is now in its sixth and seventh generation of management by Kurt and Annesuse Janson, supported by their children Kurt and Sarah.
