WINEMAKER:
MARIKA & SANDRO SPERK,
It all started in 1986. The year in which Frank Böhme’s first daughter was born - and in which he planted a small vineyard together with his father Werner. Over 35 years later, the next generation is now in charge. Marika and her husband Sandro manage the fortunes of the small winery in Gleina, which today produces some of the most beautiful wines in the region.
Awarded the ‘Newcomer of the Year 2023 in Germany’ by VINUM WINEGUIDE.

The place where our largest plants ripen is the Freyburg Schweigenberg.
The picture changes from plot to plot, sometimes from row to row, wild orchids growing here, wild thyme there. The steep southern orientation and the rich mineral wealth of the 100% muscle limestone remain the same. Silence Mountain is a picture-perfect location for
large plants: with a cool, dry continental climate, steep south-facing slopes, the special microclimate of the river valley and deep, weathered limestone soils on heat- storing bedrock. Here, Mediterranean herbs grow to compete with the wine. And you can taste it. The typical minerality is always accompanied by a delicate herbal bouquet.
They are organically cultivating 13 acres with a yearly production of about 20,000 bottles.
