The Schaefers’ vinous history dates back to 1121 in the Graach, with official records showing that they have been cultivating vineyards since 1590. The winery has been in the family since the 1950s, with Willi taking over from his father in 1971 and Christoph starting to work alongside his father in 2002.
The Schaefers focus on two vineyards in the village of Graach – the Himmelreich and Domprobst, both on deep, blue-grey Devonian slate soils. The Himmelreich produces delicately floral and mineral wines, whilst the Domprobst wines are deeper, more powerful and darkly mineral. Vibrant and complex, these wines possess stunning refinement, grace and ageablity. The Trocken and Feinherb are predominantly from the Himmelreich, with a bit of Domprobst added to both.
