Fürstlich Castell’sches Domänenamt

Castell planted Germany's first Silvaner vines, in 1659. Even today, the regional flagship variety is at the heart of the estate's work, grown according to the strict guidelines of the Verbandes Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter (VDP) . The estate's reputation is built upon its seven VDP-classified single vineyards, five held as monopole vineyards and all with soil of tremendous quality. Some of the sites date back over 750 years and feature vines up to 50 years of age. The climatic conditions and the gypsum keuper soils in Castellare perfect for minerally white wines and structured red wines.
