Winerie

The Castell family owns 80 hectares of the finest franconian vineyard sides. The majority is the white variety Silvaner. The terroir is characterized by a continental climate and gypsum skeuper soil, which gives the wines their spicy, strong note.

April 6th, 1659 was to become an important date for Castell, Franconian and also German viticulture - the first planting ..

Vintage report

A wet and mild winter was followed by a rather mixed spring. The budding was therefore only in early-mid May, and thus relatively late. From mid-May onwards, drought and heat set in, which then continued throughout the summer until the end of August.
