The Webers have been making wine at the estate since the mid-eighties, with winzer (winegrower) Erich Weber now joined by his son Johannes in the vineyards and cellar.
No pesticides or herbicides touch the vineyards, and local grasses grow between the vines, helping with biodiversity, protection from erosion, and providing competition for water when necessary. In the warmer months, they resist the urge to de-leaf, which (aside from increasing risk of sunburned grapes) can cause thicker skins, and unwanted petrol flavors in the finished wine.
The Webers have been accruing top plots from around the villages of Niedermennig and Krettnach and currently farm around 9 hectares, with a total of one hectare of ungrafted vines. Soil type in the valley is predominately grey slate and quartz at different levels of decomposition.
