Odinstal

The estate lies above Wachenheim and, according to the VDP, farms 10,90 hectares of vines. Thomas Hensel is the owner and Andreas Schumann the cellar master. The estate has worked biodynamically for many years and has been a VDP member since 2021. In the vineyards, different rock types such as basalt, Buntsandstein, Muschelkalk and Keuper are worked separately. In the cellar, Odinstal relies on spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation without temperature control, extended lees ageing, just one filtration and a small addition of sulphur dioxide before bottling.
