Kai Schätzel and Jule Eichblatt have revitalized the family estate with a modern approach and an emphasis on low-intervention winemaking, gaining recognition as a leading figure in the region. Practicing organic and biodynamic viticulture with trees and sheep in the rows, the estate manages 10 hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with Riesling and Silvaner. The steep Grand Cru vineyards in Nierstein (Ölberg, Hipping, Pettenthal) with their Rotliegend ("red slate") soils contribute to the distinctive minerality and salin, precise character of his wines. 

Schätzel's winemaking philosophy is centered around minimal intervention, creating pure wines with clarity and precision. Schätzel is combining the most successful techniques from Champagne, Jura, and Jerez. Fermentation happens spontaneously in large, used oak barrels, and the wines age on the lees and under flor for up to 8 years.  They do not filter or fine their wines, and they mostly produce their wines without additional sulfur, only adding it sparingly, if necessary. While some of the wines reflect a single vintage, others are multi-vintage wines. Some of them are produced in a solera, other's are the result of individually aged vintages, that are carefully blended in different proportions until Kai and Jule are satisfied with the cuvée.

This holistic approach to farming combined with techniques from Champagne, Jura, and Jerez in the cellar make what Schätzel calls "modern wines". Within this category of modern wines, Schätzel produces two styles: The sweet wines (orange label from vintage 2023) are made in a more classic style while the dry wines (blue and white labels) are unfiltered, unfined, and all influenced by autolysis and flor. The range includes the entry level naturweiss and their estate Riesling3000, as well as village and single vineyard wines, for example the Steiner Silvaner, that comes from the Große Lage Vineyard Hipping. His icon Riesling is Reh, combining 8 vintages from the rare Pettenthal (GG) vineyard with more than 80-year-old vines. All the barrels for Reh have been aged on the lees and under flor, and the winery released this wine for the first time in October 2024: 16-23 Reh, with Pettenthal from the vintages 2016 until 2023, in different proportions.
