The winery is located in the municipality of Rümmelsheim in the German wine-growing region of Nahe. It is run by Georg and Margit Forster. Since 2013, the winemaking has been in the hands of their son Johannes Forster, who gained practical experience at renowned wineries on the Nahe, in Rheinhessen and in South Africa at Buitenverwachting. The vineyards cover 22 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Steinköpfchen (Rümmelsheim), Jungbrunnen, Nixenberg and Trollberg (Dorsheim), Vogelsang (Laubenheim), as well as Hölle, Johannisberg, Rothenberg Schlossberg (Burg Layen). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Scheurebe, Rivaner (Müller-Thurgau) and Solaris, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Regent, Frühburgunder and Dornfelder.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
