Winery von Othegraven
The von Othegraven winery in Kanzem on the Saar was taken over by Günther Jauch and his wife Thea in 2010. Jauch’s grandmother was born von Othegraven, and as a child he was often a guest of his uncle Max and aunt Maria in Kanzem.
The winery with its steep south-facing slopes and rough slate soils, has been family-owned since 1805. Günther Jauch is the 7th generation to carry on this tradition.
Cellar master Swen Klinger, managing director Grit Schedlinski, master winemaker Marco Mendgen and the owners are working together to do justice to the Saar’s old reputation as one of the most renowned wine regions in the world.
“FAIR’N GREEN doesn’t just mean working in an environmentally friendly way in the vineyard. Achieving economic and social goals is just as important. We particularly like the principle that every business, no matter where it is, must continue to improve.”

Philosophy
The 16-hectare vineyard concentrates its entire vinification on Riesling. The wines from the top vineyards on Kanzemer Altenberg and Ockfener Bockstein are delicately spicy, full of character and subtle. The winery was quite rightly named Winemaker of the Year 2023 by the VINUM wine guide.
In addition to being a member of the VDP, the winery has also been a member of Fair and Green e.V. since the end of 2014 and is committed to sustainable viticulture.
