Winery Schloss Saaleck, Hammelburg - Welcome

Dear Wine-Lovers,

Since 2011, the traditional winery has been privately owned again. Thomas and Ulrike bought the winery Schloss Saaleck. More than 18 hectares of vineyards are now organically farmed. The winery is certified according to biological standards by the NATURLAND Association. F Ulrike and Thomas

 You can purchase our wines in our wine shop in the town hall located in the Hammelburg market square.

Look forward to a new era of Hammelburger wine.

The wine in 2019 has shown very exciting. The hot summer caused good grape maturation and thus the harvest began three weeks earlier than usual. Our grape-picking helpers were also back with full enthusiasm, working hard within our steep slopes. All of the fully mature grapes were harvested with high fructose content (Oechsle) and on the 10. October, we will reap the last grapes. Now, the high-quality musts are fermenting in the wine cellar.

We also integrate classical music during fermentation. We offer the lees soothing sounds of Mozart and other various types of relaxing music. Our wines are fermented by the vibrations of the sound, and the respective character is then uniformly and effectively brought to life. This music program continues throughout the year.

2020 – A smal vintage, with a good quality!

Our organic vineyards located in the historic vineyard walls of the "Saalecker Schlossberg" have evolved throughout the years. Thanks to the intensive care of our winemaker, we were able to obtain healthy and perfectly ripe grapes of high quality. New herbs, such as mallow (malve), buckwheat and lupines (bluebonnets), flourished throughout the fall and over the winter months provided the soil with the proper nutrients that the vines needed.
In our organically farmed property, we avoid all synthetic pesticides and herbicides (weed killers). Our winemaker Klemens Rumpel has many years of organic viticulture experience, owning a small organic winery himself. He is also president of the "Franconian Ökowinzer" (organic winegrowing organization).

Have questions? Then come visit us at our wine shop in the town hall on the market square.
We look forward to seeing you.
