Collection: Winemaker Stefan Bönsch, Langebrück

Stefan has been cultivating his own vineyards since 2006. More were added in 2013 and 2015, and new vines were planted on the terraces of the Elbe slopes in 2019. He has now reached 2 hectares.

Sustainable?! Winegrowing is and remains a monoculture. The vines stand in "their spot" for more than 30 years and are supposed to produce wonderful grapes year after year. For Stefan Bönsch, sustainable work means not using any herbicides or insecticides. It means thinking about plant protection when caring for and fertilizing the vines - because strong and well cared for, they have a lower risk of being attacked by diseases. Much of his work in the vineyard not only increases the quality of the grapes, but also strengthens the resilience of the entire facility with all the plants and animals that live here.

Sustainable and trusting relationships with suppliers, customers and the people they work with also mean sustainability for them. It is also important to Stefan Bönsch to think regionally and act as ecologically as possible. Admittedly, they do not always manage to do this - but they are on the way
