A visit with Thomas Schenk, a winemaker with a clear philosophy and a thoughtful approach to his work.
Winemaker Thomas Schenk
Thomas, a young winemaker from Lower Franconia, lives in Randersacker and produces distinctive wines at his Schenk winery. His work is shaped by a thoughtful approach to vineyard management and a close connection to the landscape. In Franconia, many vineyards are located on steep slopes, where the terrain can make the use of machinery difficult. As a result, much of the work in these vineyards is carried out by hand. The time and care Thomas Schenk puts into his wines are reflected in every bottle. Together with twelve other young winemakers from across Franconia, Thomas founded the ETHOS group, whose members follow a shared code for vineyard management. Their approach considers the vineyard as a habitat for a variety of plants and animals as well as a place of wine production. Among the group’s specific practices are organic cultivation methods and the avoidance of herbicides and insecticides.
Thomas' Bavarian experience
Winemaking is an art
The people behind Schenk Winery embody art and passion. They love to share what makes their approach to winemaking so special. Wine walks and tastings are a wonderful way to immerse yourself in what makes this winery so special.
Thomas' insider tip
The Würzburg Residence is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a magnificent baroque palace. I particularly love the Hofgarten and always find peace and quiet there.
