Schnaitmann Winery

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.
