Winery Notes

Located in Bad Durkheim in the Pfalz region of Germany, Karl Schaefer was founded in 1843 and in the early 1910s became part of the Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüterund - Qualitätsweingüter (VDP), an elite group of producers in Germany that meet the highest quality standards and account for just under 1% of the total producers in Germany. The approach to vineyard management and winemaking is entirely in tune with nature, working biodynamically with low intervention. While seeded in tradition and executing and the most elevated standard possible, so are the work conditions. The sound of bass and treble is both heard and felt and music fuels the wine making team and rests the wine, complete with a turning disco ball.

Total production of the estate is just shy of 6,700 cases.
