The winery is located in the municipality of Nierstein (Nierstein area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. The traditional family has been growing wine on the Rhine for over 650 years. Jakob Schlamp founded the winery in Nierstein in 1850 and his son Heinrich acquired the "General von Zastrow" estate in 1874, the location of today's winery. The business is run by Juliane Eichblatt) together with Kai Schätzel.

The vineyards cover 14 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Heiligenbaum, Hipping, Ölberg and Pettenthal on the Roter Hang (Nierstein). They are planted with the varieties Riesling (80%) and Silvaner with its own Schätzel clone. Biodynamic cultivation is carried out according to the certified rules of the DEMETER organic association.
Appropriate care measures in the vineyard result in small, loose-berried, thick-skinned and therefore very aromatic grapes with low, quality-enhancing yields. Sheep graze between the rows of vines. The elaborate selective hand-picking takes place in up to six passes per vineyard or individual site.

The wines are vinified in the 800-year-old wine cellar. The product range follows the VDP classification model (estate wine, local wine, Grosses Gewächs, Prädikatswein). After gentle pressing for up to 20 hours, the white wines are slowly fermented spontaneously with the vineyard's own yeasts and matured for a long time on the lees. The wines are bottled without the use of sulphur and unfiltered. Around 65,000 bottles of wine are produced each year. The winery is a member of the winegrowers' associations VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Wein vom Roten Hang e. V., Rheinhessenwein e.V. and Maxime Herkunft Rheinhessen.
