Wine & Cheese
As the daughter of a true Frenchman, the love of French cheese is already in the genes of Stéphanie Schnell, née Vialle. This is how the passion to make our biodynamic wine and delicious French cheese accessible to even more people was born. Stéphanie learned her in-depth knowledge of cheese from her father Christian, with whose support she has been buying exquisite French cheese directly from certified and personally carefully selected cheese dairies in France for over 10 years now.

Konsequent ökologisch
Unser Weingut wird nach den Demeter-Prinzipien der Biodynamik bewirtschaftet. Ich sorge dafür, dass unsere Böden lebendig bleiben, unsere Weinreben widerstandsfähig sind und die Bewirtschaftung im Einklang mit der Natur sowie der Ausbau im Keller ökologisch nachhaltig erfolgt. Stéphanie, als Tochter eines waschechten Franzosen, bringt ihre Liebe zur französischen Käsekultur in unseren Betrieb ein. Mit großer Sorgfalt wählt sie außergewöhnliche Käsesorten aus Frankreich aus, die perfekt zu unseren Demeter-zertifizierten Bio-Weinen passen.
Alle unsere Weine, Sekte und Traubensäfte sind vegan.
Ecology in the vineyard
We focus on maintaining and strengthening natural soil fertility with greening measures. The diversity of flowering plants creates habitat for beneficial organisms and thus increases the biodiversity of our cultural landscape. The vines are only fertilized with organic fertilizers and only naturally occurring plant strengtheners such as copper or sulfur are used for plant protection. Manual work when thinning the grapes and removing leaves from the grape zone increases the natural resistance of the grapes.
The big goal is to be able to completely do without plant protection in the future with new, fungus-resistant grape varieties, such as the Johanniter. With these diverse, gentle measures, the organic winemaker obtains healthy grapes, which are the basis for excellent wines.
Ecology in the basement
Sustainable management continues in the cellar of the Geheimrat Schnell winery. During the winemaking process, Johann Schnell intervenes as little as possible and only as much as necessary in order to produce top-quality wines from excellent, healthy grapes: He only uses wooden barrels to mature the wines and avoids genetically modified additives. And once the wines are in the barrel, he gives them plenty of time to develop and mature.
