The winery is located in the municipality of Ungstein/Bad-Dürkheim (Mittelhaardt/Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. In 1959, a move took place racking from the centre of the village to a newly built winery on the outskirts of the town. Today, the winery is run by Klaus Wolf. The vineyards cover 13 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyards Bettelhaus, Herrenberg (in the vineyards Am Mandelbaum and Siebenmorgen), Nussriegel, Spielberg and Weilberg (Ungstein), Musikantenbuckel (Freinsheim), as well as Nonnengarten and Osterberg (Bad-Dürkheim). Three quarters of the vineyards are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling (the leading variety with about half of the area), Chardonnay, Cabernet Bl anc, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Silvaner, Rivaner (Müller-Thurgau) and Muskateller, and one quarter with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Dorsa, Dornfelder and Blauer Portugieser.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
