Winery

Experience in making wine for more than a century, the excellent soil in Langenlois and various established varieties characterize our family-owned winery. Passionatly we expend a lot of effort every year to finish our wines with a personal touch, which is important to us. Working in line with nature out in the vineyards is self-evident for us. This is why we have pursued sustainable wine growing throughout decades and we had our estate certified organic in 2010.

Wine Making

Only the healthiest grapes remain on the vine during the pre-selection process by hand, before the Hasel vineyard is harvested. Whole bunch pressing and yet some time on skins result in an elegant wine with a good structured backbone.
