The Kaiserbaum winery, based in Gerolsheim (Palatinate), was named after the purple-blue flowering Paulownia tree (Paulownia tomentosa), which parents Frithjof and Margit Hundinger planted in the courtyard of their winery in 1980 for the birth of their son Gerald. Legend has it that the mystical phoenix bird, which has symbolized immortality, luck and fertility since late antiquity, settles on this tree. The Hammel-Hundinger winery was founded in 1963 by Frithjof Hundinger Senior and has been in family ownership ever since. The winery was given its current name when the 2011 vintage was introduced. Its 25 hectares of vineyards offer a variety of soil types and microclimates. The company’s red wines are traditionally matured in wooden barrels, while the white wines are reductively fermented in stainless steel.
In the third generation, Gerald Hammel-Hundinger has taken the family business to a new level. From “easy drinking” to Piwi to ice wine, everything is produced here sustainably and to an extremely high standard. As a reward, the winemaker, who is certified as a “Partner Company for Nature Conservation”, won several gold awards, such as the “Best Winery Germany – Mundus Vini Summer Tasting 2023”.
“I am realistic, calm and clear in my ideas. My interest in new things and my creativity give me strength and allow me to go my own way.” – Gerald Hammel-Hundinger

Thinking differently is what they do at Yealands. Crafting award-winning wines in harmony with nature has seen us lead the world in sustainable winegrowing. But most importantly, it means great tasting wines which don’t cost the earth.
The S1 block Sauvignon Blanc comes from a sun soaked site, moderated by cool, coastal breezes on our Seaview Vineyard. The subsequent style and flavours reflect this terroir, with flavours of ripe nectarine and a lush, full palate balanced by mouth-watering mineral acidity.
At Yealands, the aim is to leave the land better than we found it. This is achieved through a wide range of initiatives and on-going projects including developing wetlands, making their own special compost and using natural pest control measures in the vineyards.
