{"title":"von Othegraven","description":"The Maximilian von Othegraven winery was founded in the early 16th century. It enjoys a truly romantic location on the right bank of the Saar River, opposite the village of Kanzem, and is surrounded by a park with rare trees. Since 1805, it has been owned by the Grach-Weißebach-von Othegraven family. In 2010, Günther Jauch and Dorothea Sihler-Jauch took over the winery from his great-aunt Maria von Othegraven and ambitiously led it to the forefront of German Riesling producers. Their uncompromising commitment to quality is evident in the mineral density and delicate fruitiness of their Rieslings.
