Weingut Oliver Schell

Our Philosophy
Wines of classic beauty are our goal — wines with balance, complexity, and harmony. Our unique style combines power and harmony with a balanced, gentle structure.

History
The winemaking tradition of the Schell family can be traced back to the 17th century, with the first written records beginning with Peter Josef Schell. He laid the foundation for the winery.

Winemakers
Today, the winery is managed by Otger and his son Oliver Schell (now the fourth generation), and after more than 100 years, it remains family-owned. Two winemakers who share a passion… Ahr wine!

Vineyards
The foundation of every wine is laid in the vineyard. The quality of the wine is significantly influenced by various steps taken during cultivation. At O. Schell winery, great importance is placed on manual labor and environmentally friendly practices. Yield regulation is essential for producing premium wines, as the fewer grapes a single vine has to carry, the more aroma-giving substances can be stored in the individual berries. Only in this way can distinctive and unique wines emerge.

Cellar
The place in the winery where the wines are refined. At O. Schell, modern cellar technology meets the traditional aging of red wines in barriques. Perfection is key here. The best possible conditions have been created to produce vibrant Blanc de Noir, fruity Pinot Noir, and complex barrique-aged wines.

Wines
Burgundy varieties take center stage here, from classic Pinot Noir to delicate Frühburgunder. Wine should always be exciting and reflect the winemaker's signature style. The winery is also known for its Blanc de Noir, which is praised by the wine press year after year.
