F. Schatz, Málaga, Spain
Málaga: the surprising wines of Andalusia
F. Schatz is one of Spain's most exceptional winemakers, based in Ronda, a mountain town in the province of Málaga at an altitude of approximately 700 to 900 meters. The estate was founded by the German artist Friedrich Schatz, who moved to Andalusia in the 1990s and built a biodynamic winery in a place where no one expected it.
Biodynamic in the mountains of Ronda
F. Schatz works strictly biodynamically — one of the few certified biodynamic producers in Spain. The vineyards are located on limestone and clay soils at high altitudes, which provides a cooler climate than the coast of Málaga might suggest. The wines are elegant, mineral-rich, and surprisingly fresh for Andalusia.
Unique style, unique varieties
F. Schatz works with a mix of indigenous and international varieties, always guided by a biodynamic philosophy. The wines are unique in Spain — a discovery for anyone looking to look beyond the well-known regions.
