The winery is located near Rentsch in the municipality of Bolzano in the Italian wine-growing area of South Tyrol ( Trentino-Alto Adige region). It has been family-owned since 1893. Since 2008, the wines have been bottled in-house. From the 2014 vintage onwards, vinification takes place in the newly built cellar. The winery is run by Hildegard Egger Spögler, her son Hans Jochen and Eduard Spögler. The vineyards cover five hectares and are planted with various varieties of Vernatsch (grey, small, medium and large Vernatsch), Merlot and Lagrein, as well as Ruländer (Pinot Gris). Some of the vines are very old (Grauvernatsch, Lagrein), cultivated in double-peg systems, while younger vines are cultivated in modern trellis systems.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
