The winery is located in the municipality of Ilbesheim (Südliche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. Originally a mixed agricultural business, the winery specialized in viticulture in the 1960s. The wines were marketed from 1972 onwards. Since 2000, the winery has been managed by Frank Ackermann, with his father Karl-Heinz taking care of the external operations. The vineyards cover 13 hectares of vineyards in the locations Hasen (Eschbach), Kaiserberg (Göcklingen), Rittersberg (Ilbesheim) and Sonnenberg (Leinsweiler). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Portugieser, Dornfelder, Merlot, Cabernet Dorsa and Cabernet Franc. The vineyards are cultivated taking into account the relationship between grape variety, location and vegetation phase through a differentiated approach to row planting, pruning, soil cultivation, grape care and yield reduction. The wines are fermented individually for each wine type at controlled temperatures, in some cases stored for a very long time on the fine lees and aged differently in stainless steel, wooden barrels or oak barriques. Fruit growing is carried out on one hectare and noble brandies are produced in the own distillery.
