Founded in 1894, Family run and is the 3rd oldest wine corporation in Baden. Our vineyards are located in the northern part of the Baden wine region.The small river Tauber and the gentle hills of the region Liebliches Taubertal, as well as the relatively high number of sunshine hours in the annual average/Germany, have made it an ideal wine-growing area for over 1000 years, especially for white wines. Becksteiner is known to support small winemakers from the same region. 

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.
