The Erwin Sabathi winery is managed by Erwin and his wife Patricia. Erwin's two younger brothers, Gerd and Christoph, also hold key positions in the management of the family business. The winery has been completely modernized, and all modern technologies for sustainable viticulture have been introduced. Nevertheless, the Sabathi family relies primarily on manual cultivation of the vineyards due to the steep slopes on which the vineyard is located.
The tradition of viticulture has existed in the Sabathi family since 1650. The progenitor of the family is Jörg Sabathi. Generations of Sabathi family members cared for the wine estate in Pilchenhof until 1914. Subsequently, the winery moved to the Knapenhof estate in Sernau until 1938. In 1938, Johann Sabathi sold the Knapenhof estate, and together with his wife Ludmila, he purchased the current location where the Sabathi family's estate, vineyard, and winery are located today in Pössnitz.
