The winery is located in the municipality of Schliengen-Mauchen (Markgräflerland area) in the German wine-growing region of
Baden. The long-established Heilbronn family Lämmlin has been growing grapes here since the twelfth century. After living in exile in Switzerland during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), the family settled in Mauchen in the middle of the 17th century and started growing grapes again. The marriage of Lieselotte Lämmlin and Gerhard Schindler senior resulted in the present-day business, which is now run by Gerd Schindler junior. The Mauchen inn "Zur Krone", which was leased to the Cassier couple, has also been in the family since 1862
The vineyards cover 13.5 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyards
Frauenberg and Sonnenstück (Mauchen) owned by the family. They are planted with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as with the white wine varieties Chasselas, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Scheurebe. The vineyards are cultivated according to organic principles, with no synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilisers and no extensive use of copper. Grapes are purchased from a further six hectares, whereby the suppliers are obliged to refrain from using any
herbicides. However, these wines are vinified separately. The wines are matured in stainless steel tanks, large wooden barrels and barriques. The red wines are fermented spontaneously. Bottle-fermented sparkling wines are also produced
