About Weingut von Othegraven

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.

This historic winery is situated in the municipality of Kanzem (Saar sub-region) in the German wine-growing region of the Moselle. Its history dates back to the early 16th century. The estate came into the possession of the Grach-Weissebach-von Othegraven family in 1805. It was initially managed by Katharina Grach-Weissebach (1789–1826) and later by Maria von Othegraven (1899–1995). Their niece, Dr Heidi Kegel, subsequently took over the management.

In 2010, the winery was taken over by TV presenter Günther Jauch, whose grandmother, Elsa von Othegraven, was a sister of Maria von Othegraven. The estate therefore remains in family ownership. Since 2004, Andreas Barth, who also runs the Lubentiushof in Niederfell, has been responsible for the vinification of the wines as cellar master. Today, Grit Schedlinski is the managing director; cellar master Swen Klinger is responsible for winemaking.

Vineyards & Grape Varieties

The vineyards cover around 18 hectares of vineyard area in the single-vineyard sites of Altenberg (solely owned, Kanzem), Bockstein (Ockfen), Herrenberg (solely owned, Wawern), Kupp (Wiltingen) and Geisberg (Schoden). Dr Heidi Kegel was able to prevent a planned, highly controversial land consolidation scheme, which would have cut through the Kanzem Altenberg with a path halfway up the steep slope. The vineyards, some of which are extremely steep, are characterised primarily by slate soils. 100 per cent of the vineyards are cultivated using the ‘ Riesling ’ method.

Product range

The wines are produced in accordance with the VDP ’s pyramid of origin as estate wines, local wines and ‘ single vineyards ’. Of particular significance are the dry ‘ Grosses Gewächs ’ from the classified top vineyards, as well as fruit-sweet Prädikat wines up to high-quality Auslese wines. The premium wines include the ‘ Riesling ’ Grosses Gewächs from Kanzemer Altenberg, Ockfener Bockstein, Wawerner Herrenberg and Wiltinger Kupp. The wines are characterised by the combination of pronounced acidity, minerality and a comparatively moderate alcohol content that is typical of the Saar region. The estate is a member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter).
