The Schätzel family has been farming vineyards along the Rhine for 650 years, drawn to the idea that wine could capture the essence of place. Today, their steep red slate vineyards on the Roter Hang yield wines of striking minerality and structure. “Give nature her space” is their guiding principle, reflected in the slow, deliberate rhythms of their biodynamic farming and cellar work beneath the vaulted ceilings of their 800-year-old estate.

Riesling 3000 is both a manifesto and a joy to drink. Grown on red slate and fermented with ambient yeasts, the wine ages 12 months under flor in old oak barrels with no additions, fining, or filtration. It’s light in alcohol, clean and textural, with dried apricot, brioche, and salty minerals wrapped in a breezy, low-intervention frame.

Bottled sustainably in lightweight glass with recyclable corks and no capsule, and paired with a choose-your-impact donation: €3 from every bottle goes directly to plant, animal, or human-focused projects.
