The winery is located in the municipality of Sinzheim-Ebenung (Ortenau area) in the German wine-growing region of Baden. In 1996, Ewald Kopp began marketing the wines himself. After internships at the wineries Dr Bürklin-Wolf(Pfalz, Germany) and Bleasdale (Langhorne Creek, Australia), it was taken over by son Johannes in 2012 and run with his wife Birgit. The vineyards cover 25 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Klostergut Fremersberger Feigenwäldchen (Sinzheim), Klosterbergfelsen with the Gewann Sommerhalde, Steingrübler with the Gewann Röderswald, and Sonnenberg with the Gewann Am Altenberg (Varnhalt). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Muskat-Ottonel, Scheurebe, Sauvignon Blanc, Muskateller and the red wine variety Pinot Noir. Yields are consistently regulated in order to increase quality.
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
