Winerie

The estate in Palatine was established in 1994 by the Schneider family in Ellerstadt. Today Markus Schneider cultivates 90 hectars and established his wines worldwide.

Vintage report

2021 was a different harvest compared to the ones before. It was a year with hard work in the vineyards and very fast harvest, because of the rain during those months. Before summer, the Schneider estate was infected by hail, so in total, 2021 was a year with less income. Nonetheless, after tasting the young wines, it will be a very pleasant year and we can be still excited.
