The winery is located in the municipality of Iphofen (Steigerwald area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. The main house with its historic vaulted cellar was built around 1650. In 1742, the Carthusian monks acquired the estate for the production of their wine, which remained in their possession until 1803. After that, the estate was bought by the Fröhlich family, who are now the sixth generation of the family to run it. The winery is located directly on the Herrengraben, the historic, fully preserved ramparts and fortifications of Iphofen. Holiday flats are also available for rent. After training as a winemaker and studying business administration, the winery is managed by Thomas Fröhlich and his wife Andrea.

The vineyards cover 4.5 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Julius-Echter-Berg, Kalb and Kronsberg (Iphofen), as well as Küchenmeister (Rödelsee). They are planted with the white wine varieties Silvaner, Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Scheurebe, Bacchus and Kerner, as well as with the red wine varieties Regent and Domina. The premium wines include Alte Reben Silvaner, the "Freigeist Silvaner" aged for one year in wooden barrels and the red wine "Roter Kartäuser" (Domina) aged in barriques. We also produce bottle-fermented sparkling wine, Secco (sparkling wine), Rotling, plum brandy and. Grape juice.
