“Gentleness in all things” is the paramount rule followed by the Schoenheitz since their first harvest when the long-awaited moment arrived to transform the raw material into a promising caress for the final consumer's palate.

• Harvest reception area and press are located higher than the winery to benefit from gravity flow techniques.
• Pneumatic press which permits the pressing of whole clusters (without prior de-stemming).
• Temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for a total capacity of 1,000 hl (average volume of tank : 35 hl).
• Barrels from Burgundy made of French oak (Allier and Vosges), renewed by one quarter each year for the aging of our famous Pinot Noir “Herrenreben”.
• Air-conditioned premises with a storage capacity of 200,000 bottles.

Each parcel and varietal is individually pressed. After passing a last phase of sorting, the entire bunch is deposited on the press. The whole installation has been specially conceived to avoid shocks and stress to the grapes during transport. It is due to this respect for the fruit that the varietal and the soil can fully express themselves in “high fidelity” in the glass.

Strict rules of hygiene, perfect temperature control of the fermentation, and constant and precise follow-up permit an accurate translation of the wine's natural expression. The defining characteristics of the Schoenheitz style, leaving a lasting impression, are “frankness, clarity and purity.” The story is written by nature, the nuanced and subtle interpretation is provided by the mastery and oenological experience of Dominique and Henri Schoenheitz.
