In 1833 at the age of fifteen, Michael Oppmann began his apprenticeship in the Hofkellerei. In 1850, Michael Oppmann was able to open his own winery. Due to his quality products, he was soon appointed to deliver his wine to the Bavarian King. Other wineries were older than his, but he proved to be better. Wine was a family business however and as a result, the name Oppmann is still known as the champagne of Franconia. Sektkellerei J. Oppmann, as we know it today, was founded in 1865 by Michael’s nephew, Josef Oppmann. His father Ludwig Oppmann also had a wine professional, he was the vineyard inspector in royal service. Josef Oppmann acquired the art of making sparkling wine in the cellars of Champagne. Champagne made by J. Oppmann got high awards at several World Fairs, such as 1871 in Vienna. At that time 100,000 bottles of Oppmann sparkling wines were sold annually. Before the turn of the century, the company was converted into a corporation. The winery was named “Royal Purveyor”. Then the sekt was named “Sekt of the House” at world exhibitions in Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia, and Sydney.J.Oppmann is the Oldest Sparkling wine company and is still the supplier to the German Royals in Bavaria.
