Wine estate von Hövel - Saar river
The Saar Wine Estate von Hövel in Konz-Oberemmel is part of the Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates and is now run by the 7th generation. The traditional von Hövel winery, founded as early as 1803, is located near the pristine oxbow lake of the Saar in Konz-Oberemmel, whose origins of viticulture can probably be traced back to the time of the Celts.

World famous Riesling wines from Oberemmel
The most important vineyards include the world-famous Scharzhofberger, the Oberemmeler Hütte, which is solely owned by the winery, and the outstanding single vineyard site "Hörecker", a "fillet piece" in the Kanzemer Altenberg. The sustainable cultivation of the vineyards is carried out according to the strict guidelines of the "Fair & Green" association, which awards its seal for sustainable cultivation and winery management. Abstaining from herbicides, mineral fertilizers and pesticides is a given and reflects the philosophy of the winery owner.

Founding member of VDP, creates superb Riesling wines
The von Hövel winery has been family-owned since 1803 and later became a founding member of the VDP. In 2010, Maximilian von Kunow took over the business from his father. Before that, the young winemaker had learned and experimented at other wineries and advised Luxembourg winemakers. His love for the delicate, brightly fruity Saar Rieslings led him to return to his parents' winery.
Finest Riesling wines from the Saar
On 22 hectares of vineyards with blue Devonian slate, the von Hövel winery grows exclusively Riesling. The traditional winery is the sole owner of two top vineyards classified as "Große Lagen". The filigree-elegant wines from the steep areas in the "Oberemmeler Hütte" show themselves with citrus-stone fruit scent, herbal notes and characteristic juiciness.

Wines and vineyards
Distinctive for their origin, our classic and filigree Saar wines from great sites and other historically documented vineyards are characterized by unadulterated, diverse, clear fruit aromas paired with countless herbaceous elements. The unmistakable fine fruity balance between finest sweetness and ripe acidity is underlined by Saar-typical mineralities of the Devonian slate. Our natural wines show elegance, finesse and an inimitable lightness. Paired with moderate alcohol, they promise carefree drinking pleasure.
Tradition in good hands since 7 generations
Max von Kunow is the responsible winemaker in the traditional family business of von Hövel. He prefers robust and fine Saarland Rieslings. He does not seek to imitate other wineries or wine regions, but to bring out the terroir of each area in the glass and to preserve the traditional style of von Hövel Rieslings.
