The winery is located in the municipality of Sulzfeld ( Maindreieck area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. In 1970, Theo Luckert acquired the former Zehnthof, which had existed since 1558. It is run by the brothers Ulrich and Wolfgang Luckert and their families.
The vineyards cover 17 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Maustal and Sonnenberg as well as Berg I (a prime plot in the single vineyard site Cyriakusberg). These are planted with the white wine varieties Silvaner with the four varieties Gelber, Grüner, Roter and Blauer Silvaner (50%), Weißburgunder, Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Muskateller, as well as with the red wine varieties Spätburgunder, Domina, Frühburgunder, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The small Creutz vineyard is planted with ancient vines dating back to 1875 ungrafted (see picture). In order to reduce yields, all vines are trained in a cordon system. All vineyards are naturally planted. Since the 2013 vintage, the vineyards have been cultivated in accordance with certified organic farming guidelines.
The white wines are fermented spontaneously and matured in traditional wooden barrels with a volume of between 700 and 5,000 litres. The red wines mature in barriques after mash fermentation. The wines are only minimally sulphurised and bottled without filtration. The wines are marketed according to the VDP classification model.
The company's premium wines include the VDP Grosse Gewächse from the Maustal Riesling, Silvaner & Pinot Noir, Creutz Sylvaner *** and Unter der Mauer *** (grape cuvée of Silvaner and Riesling) as well as Sonnenberg Frühburgunder *** and Grand Noir *** (Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot). Around 100,000 bottles of wine are produced every year. Fine brandies (marc brandy, fruit brandy, sloe brandy) are also produced.
The winery is a member of the organic association Naturland and the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter).
