Hanewald-Schwerdt Riesling Brut

Hanewald-Schwerdt is a well-regarded family-owned winery located in the Palatinate (Pfalz) region of Germany, specifically in Leistadt. The estate was formed in 1955 through the marriage of the Hanewald and Schwerdt families, combining two long-standing viticultural traditions.

This specific product is a Riesling Brut, a dry sparkling wine produced using traditional methods. The grapes are grown in the limestone-rich soils of the Pfalz, which provides the wine with its characteristic acidity and mineral profile. The manufacturing process takes place entirely at the family estate, from grape cultivation to bottling.

As of 2026, the brand remains under the independent ownership of the Hanewald and Schwerdt families. It is currently managed by the younger generation, Thomas Hanewald and Stephan Schwerdt, who have focused on sustainable practices and modernizing the winery's profile while maintaining traditional craftsmanship. There is no corporate ultimate owner separate from the family, making it an authentic estate-bottled German product.
