<\/p>\nOriginally from the area of Heilbronn, after the Thirty Year\u2019s War (1618-1648) the L\u00e4mmlins, a family of winegrowers, moved to the southern part of the Markgr\u00e4flerland. There, settled between the river Rhein and the foothill zone of the Black Forest, a mild climate, moderate wind and regular rainfall offer perfect conditions for growing wine. In the small village of Mauchen, embedded within a side valley of the Rhine Plain, the present-day winery L\u00e4mmlin-Schindler is framed by the “Gro\u00dfe Lagen” of the vineyard slopes Mauchener Sonnenst\u00fcck and Mauchener Frauenberg, which belong to Germany\u2019s finest vineyard parcels.<\/p>\n
The name of the idyllic village of Mauchen originates from the Alemannic term \u201cmuche\u201d, which means \u201chidden\u201d, as it lies well sheltered at the bottom of a valley between the river Rhein and the foothill zone of the Black Forest between Freiburg and Basel.<\/p>\n
Viticulture is one the oldest occupations of the world, and the L\u00e4mmlins themselves have been growing wine since the 12th century. The framed family tree hanging above the nutwood table at the estate’s tasting room gives testimony of the family’s long history and ramification. L\u00e4mmlin-Schindlers are today still deeply attached to their families’ history and knowledge, which can be witnessed in their close connection to nature when working in the vineyard as well as in their respectful handling of nature’s resources.<\/p>\n
In 1995 Gerd Schindler took over from his parents and has since managed the estate with sincere dedication and love for the wine and the region in which he and his family live. While respecting its history and traditions, he and his wife Heidi and their four children have gently led the family business into modern times. While retaining initial varieties like Gutedel, Sp\u00e4tburgunder, Wei\u00dfburgunder and Grauburgunder, they have also planted new varieties like Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc.<\/p>\n
In 1989 the family decided to resolutely turn to organic viticulture in order to guarantee that the authenticity and premium quality of the Mauchener vineyards also find their way into the wine.<\/p>\n

Teamwork secures quality<\/p>\n
Gerd and Heidi Schindler’s team consisting of Heidi Breitenfeld, Renate Baur, Jana Schenk und Martina Rissler guarantee competent service at the office and in the sales department.<\/p>\n
Cellar master Friedhelm Maier, cooper Jonas F\u00fcnfgeld und Matthias Krumm support Gerd Schindler with meticulous care and passion.<\/p>\n
And last, but not least, Gerd and Heidi’s four children naturally form a fixed component of the estate’s team: Judith, who is currently studying social work in Freiburg, Jonas, studying for his Abitur in M\u00fcllheim, Simon, apprentice to become a winemaker himself, and Hannah, who is studying for her masters degree in Agricultural and Food Economy in Wien.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
