The winery is located in the municipality of Großlangheim (Steigerwald area) in the German wine-growing region of
Franconia. The patrician farm dates back to 1738 and was built by the Cuntzmann family, after whom a wine line is also named. The historic vaulted cellar dates back to 1482. The estate was acquired and restored by the Grebner family in 1993. They have been growing wine here since 1873. Today, the winery is run by Günter Grebner, and Björn Grebner is responsible for the cellar technology. A restaurant and a hotel are attached. The vineyards cover seven hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Kiliansberg (Großlangheim), as well as Geißberg and Wachhügel (Wiesenbronn). They are 70% planted with the white wine varieties Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner, Bacchus, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, and 30% with the red wine varieties Spätburgunder, Domina, Blaufränkisch and Schwarzriesling
Near-natural cultivation is carried out according to the rules of
integrated pest management.
Herbicides are not used. The
confusion method and
predatory mites are used for pest control. Nutrients are supplied by
cover crop and the exclusive use of natural fertiliser. The reduced, average yield is 55 hectolitres/hectare. The wines are vinified and matured according to the varietal and vineyard type. The white wine musts are clarified by sedimentation and then fermented at 15 to 20 °Celsius. The red wines go through a classic mash fermentation, but this is also done to some extent with white wines. After
filtration and maturation, the wines are stored at 8 °Celsius until bottling. Bottle-fermented sparkling wines and secco (sparkling wines) are also produced. Around 50,000 bottles of wine are produced annually. The winery is a member of the Fränkisches Gewächs association
