The winery in Kanzem on the Saar is located halfway between the ancient Roman city of Trier and the idyllic Saarburg. Here, top-quality Riesling has been cultivated in preferred locations for many centuries. It is only about six kilometers to the mouth of the Saar into the Moselle. Since the 1980s, when a narrow loop of the Saar was separated from shipping traffic by a canal, Kanzem has been on a romantic island. The vineyards are situated in the steep slopes of Kanzem, Wawern, Saarburg, and Ockfen, which are planted with the noble Riesling as a white grape variety and Pinot Noir. Attached to the winery is a small distillery, where fine spirits of high quality are distilled.
Locations: Kanzemer Altenberg, Kanzemer Sonnenberg, Ockfener Bockstein, Saarburger Stirn, Wawerner Goldberg, and Wawerner Ritterpfad.
Awards: Der Feinschmecker 2020, Vinum 2020, Gault Millau 2020
Other products: Riesling pomace brandy
