Watching the crawler tractor working its way up the steep slope looks unreal. Ever since, in his final study project in Geisenheim, Christian Ebert investigated the options of mechanizing vineyard work on steeply sloping hills, this machine has become dear to his heart. It reduces the hard work on the steeply sloping land by many hours even if it cannot be used on all vineyard sections. When new vineyards are designed, the most important consideration is the width of rows. For years, tracks have been altered and dams have been built to make the best possible use of the crawler. Despite its ten hectares, the team that works at Schloss Saarstein is not overly large: For all the vineyard and cellar work, Ebert relies on his long-term employee who is virtually part of the family. Taking on one or two trainees is considered important and passing on one’s expertise seen as a duty. Of the approximately 60 wine producers in the Saar region, only four take on apprentices and these days, there is, once more, an increasing interest in becoming a vintner.
