The "Privat-Weingut Hartmut Schlumberger" is located in the municipality of Sulzburg-Laufen (Markgräflerland area) in the German wine-growing region of Baden. The traditional family has been involved in viticulture for over 500 years. A holiday flat is attached. The winery is run by Claudia Schlumberger-Bernhart and Ulrich Bernhart.
Vineyards & grape varieties
The vineyards cover nine hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Altenberg and Weingarten (Laufen) as well as the cadastral site Muggardter Berg (Britzingen). They are planted with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the white wine varieties Pinot Blanc, Gutedel (Chasselas), Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Auxerrois, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.
The vineyards are cultivated according to the rules of organic viticulture and are inspected by the "Kontrollverein ökologischer Landbau". This includes, among other things, cover crop through regular sowing, no use of synthetic chemical fungicides and control of the grape berry moth using a confusion method with pheromone dispensers. There is a significant reduction in yield - between 70 and 90 hl/ha for Gutedel and on average between 30 and 60 hl/ha for Pinot varieties (90 hl/ha is permitted under wine law).
Product range
Only organic wines are produced. Fermentation takes place partly in old oak barrels, some of which were made by the grandfather himself in the first third of the 20th century. White, grey and Pinot Noir vines are marketed as Grosses Gewächs; first vineyard wines are Riesling and Chardonnay from Muggardter Berg, as well as Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir Altenberg. Fine brandies(yeast, Trebern, fruit) and bottle-fermented sparkling wines are also produced. The winery is a member of the "Beratungsdienst ökologischer Weinbau" and has been a member of the VDP since 2006.
Other wineries named Schlumberger
The two wineries Schlumberger Wein- und Sektkellerei in Vienna (Austria) and Domaines Schlumberger in Guebwiller in Alsace (France) have the same family origins.
