GVS Weinkellerei
At the former GVS Weinkellerei, founded in 1934, the Schachenmann wine dynasty in Schaffhausen produces nationally and internationally acclaimed wines from grapes cultivated for them on 160 vineyard estates in the Blauburgunderland. The cooperative inspires wine connoisseurs with traditional wines and innovative ideas. Since 1995, cellar master Michael Fuchs has utilised a variety of technical possibilities in the vinification process in a way that the qualities of the grapes and of the soil upon which they grow can unleash their full potential.
Schaffhausen
The climate in Schaffhausen is continental with relatively warm, dry summers and cool winters. Topographically, the canton can be divided into two areas: forest-covered river valleys in the centre and to the East, as well as flatter terroirs in the West on the border to Germany. The most important winegrowing municipalities in Schaffhausen are found here in the region of Klettgau, the centre of which is Hallau. Deep, calcareous and rather flat soils produce mainly Pinot-Noir (almost two-thirds of the cultivated vine varieties are red) as well as Müller-Thurgau vines. In view of the canton’s modest size, the wine volume produced is substantial.
