Luckert - Zehnthof
VINUM Winery of the Year 2025 – and it's a Franconian one, of all things. Weingut Zehnthof Luckert from Sulzfeld demonstrates what happens when 155-year-old vines meet state-of-the-art cellar technology. Wolfgang and Ulrich Luckert cultivate all four Silvaner varieties – green, yellow, red and blue – as the only winery in the world to do so. In the prince-bishop's Zehnthof from 1558, wines are created that redefine Franconia. Naturland-certified and uncompromisingly distinctive.
More about Luckert - Zehnthof
The Silvaner Colour Palette of the World
Green, yellow, red, blue – what sounds like a kindergarten paint box is the globally unique Silvaner collection of the Luckerts. As the only winery in the world, they cultivate all four natural colour variants of Silvaner. These genetic variations of the same grape variety produce completely different flavour profiles: the Blue Silvaner tastes spicier, the Red develops more phenolics, the Yellow shows elegant acidity. Wolfgang and Ulrich Luckert have collected and propagated these rarities over decades – an ampelographic sensation in the wine world.
155 Years in a Bottle
In the Creutz vineyard site grow Silvaner vines that were already planted in 1870 – own-rooted and ungrafted. These living fossils of wine culture have survived both world wars, the phylloxera catastrophe and climate change. Their Creutz Silvaner wurzelecht 2024 is one of the oldest Silvaner parcels in Germany and displays a complexity that only 155-year-old vines can develop. The tiny yields concentrate into wines of mineral depth that taste of shell limestone and roasted hazelnuts.
VDP Top Vineyard Sites on the Main
The VDP.Grosse Lage Maustal is a steep south-facing slope directly on the Main, where the Luckerts produce their Maustal Silvaner Großes Gewächs 2024. Since 1955 they have been VDP members and thus belong to the founding wineries of Germany's top classification – a tradition that colleagues such as Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn in the Rheingau continue with similar passion for top German grape varieties. The Naturland certification for over 10 years combines organic viticulture with VDP standards.
Spontaneous Fermentation at Zehnthof
Cellar master Philipp Luckert, trained under Paul Fürst in Bürgstadt, consistently relies on spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts. In traditional double wooden casks made from Spessart oak, the wines mature unfiltered and with minimal sulphur. The Sulzfelder Silvaner Alte Reben 2024 exemplifies this philosophy: 20 to 80-year-old vines, spontaneously fermented, aged ten months on full lees. The result is wines of uncompromising authenticity that justify the Eichelmann 5-star status consistently since 2016.
