About Weingut Rainer Sauer

wein.plus classification:
One of the best producers of the country Producer of premium wines, which regularly include even in international comparison among the best of its kind.

The winery is located in the municipality of Escherndorf (Maindreieck area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. It was built up from 1979 onwards by Helga and Rainer Sauer. After a year of internship in California and studies in Geisenheim, the oenologist Daniel Sauer (son) is responsible for the cellar. The vineyards cover 15 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Fürstenberg and Lump (Escherndorf) as well as Sonnenberg (Untereisenheim). They are planted with the white wine varieties Silvaner (60% of the area), Müller-Thurgau (20%), Riesling, Traminer, Kerner and Pinot Blanc, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Domina and Blauer Portugieser. Part of the land (4 ha) is farmed biodynamically.

Only physiologically ripe and healthy grapes are harvested by hand. For the dry wines, botrytised berries are completely sorted out. In order to preserve the typical character of the grape variety, the grapes are processed very gently without pumping. The wines are stored for a long time on the fine lees. Depending on the type of wine, the wines are matured in stainless steel, in large wooden barrels or in concrete eggs. The wines are marketed according to the four-stage VDP classification model. The Grossen Gewächse are given the designation "Escherndorf am Lumpen 1655". As a speciality, the Silvaner is vinified "ab ovo" in a 900-litre concrete egg. Another premium wine is the Silvaner "L". Around 135,000 bottles of wine are produced annually. The winery is a member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates) and Frank & Frei.
