Celebrating 500 Years of Family Winemaking Tradition

Schnaitmann Winery, located in the picturesque Rems Valley of Baden-Württemberg, is renowned for its commitment to organic viticulture. Founded by Rainer Schnaitmann, the winery has embraced organic grape farming since its inception and achieved biodynamic certification in 2016. The winery offers a diverse selection of high-quality wines, including red, white, dessert, rosé, and sparkling varieties.

A Pivotal Year: 1997

The Schnaitmann family has a rich history in viticulture, deeply rooted in the lesser-known wine region of Württemberg. In the 1980s, Rainer Schnaitmann shifted his focus from architecture to winemaking, inspired by evolving trends in the industry. After studying at the prestigious Geisenheim University, he gained hands-on experience in vineyards across New Zealand and South Tyrol. In 1997, Rainer leased three hectares of vineyards in Fellbach from his father and transformed old barns into a winery, producing his first wines under the family label.

Organic Vineyards Across 26 Hectares

Most of Schnaitmann's vineyards are situated in the Fellbach wine region. Following a hailstorm in June 2000, Rainer expanded his holdings to include vineyards in the Rems Valley, specifically in Schnait, Beutelsbach, and Strümpfelbach. Today, the winery cultivates a variety of grapes, such as Riesling, Pinot Noir, Lemberger, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Trollinger. A former intern played a key role in expanding production by lending Rainer a parcel in Zabergäu.

Frau Conrad provided a very pleasurable wine tasting experience and was quite knowledgeable about their product. The facility was neat and clean, and I thought the Rieslings were particularly good.

My husband and I were greeted warmly by the owners - a very kind married couple. We tried many wines - all were excellent - and really enjoyed our time getting to know them both and the history of the winery. We got a quick tour and got to try about 7 different types of wine - each being more delicious than the last. The owner suggested we purchase a bottle, take a quick (15 minute) walk into the vineyards to enjoy it and we did just that. That wine was delicious in the tasting room - it tasted even better in the vineyards! It’s easy to get to by bus or by Uber, and I highly recommend this winery. The wine is delicious, and the owners are lovely. Cheers!

Unfortunately, I haven't been to the winery myself yet, but I was able to try 10 wines at Bassermann Jordan and I'm totally impressed. Really excellent and can only recommend them. The Lemberger obviously plays a big role here.
