Cellar Tour and Tasting at Weingut Dautel (VDP) in Bönnigheim, Württemberg, with Ernst and Christian Dautel
At Weingut Schnaitmann, we were received by Rainer Schnaitmann. We started with a tasting and finished the visit with a walk through the cellar, which included more wine tastings.
We have visited Weingut Schnaitmann once before, where Rainer took us also on vineyard tour, and have met Rainer at various occasions in Germany.
Weingut Schnaitmann is represented in the USA by the German Wine Collections in California.
Weingut Schnaitmann (VDP) in Fellbach, Württemberg
For over
500 years the Schnaitmann family has been making wine in the Rems and
Neckar valleys. The 1997 vintage was the first one that Rainer
Schnaitmann produced under his own name. In 2000 the winery was
certified as an organic winegrowing estate according to the EEC
regulation on ecological winemaking. With 60 acres of vineyards, this
winery belongs to the larger estates in Württemberg. Schnaitmann
definitely helped putting Württemberg back on the map for the serious
wine aficionado.
To make your palate water, I quote tasting notes by Rudi Wiest: “In the glass this Lemberger is an elegant deep violet red. The nose is nice and open revealing ripe cherries, blackberries, licorice and vanilla. The fine minerality shows some flinty notes and spices of bay leaf, juniper and fresh ground black pepper round out this Lemberger’s complex flavor spectrum. Juicy on the palate, the fruit sweetness is delicate with a refreshing minerality and balanced acidity and tannin structure.”
Schnaitmann - German Wine Collection
In an impressive way, the wine estate of Rainer Schnaitmann has developed into a respected address in Germany and beyond. For years, the Gault & Millau “Aufsteiger des Jahres” is listed amongst the 100 best wine estates in Germany; in all major wine publications, it is listed as the absolute top of Württemberg estates. In 2006 it was affiliated by the “Verband deutscher Prädikatsweingüter” (the Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates, abbreviated VDP), the youngest wine estate until then. Its success is carried by the family and by the well-trained employees. The grapes are picked only by hand. A team of many people from the surrounding area of Stuttgart, does this work in the steep slopes, which in some years can take up to 9 weeks, with passion and endurance. Of course, the joy of life will not be forgotten, lunch at working days is served together with the trainees and interns, and the best wines from all over the world are tasted and discussed.
In any case, Rainer Schnaitmann has not yet regretted the fact that he did not begin his planned architectural studies in favor of the 500-year-old family tradition of growing grapes. He is convinced that the potential of the top vineyard sites in the Stuttgart-Rems Valley is far from exhausted. A further step in this direction is the organic viticulture, which has been practiced for years and whose certification was successfully completed in 2016. This is how wines are created that embody the estate’s philosophy: Never tire, never bore – and the bottle must be emptied easily. At least when there’s two of you…
