The winery is located in the municipality of Bad-Neuenahr-Ahrweiler in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. The traditional family has been growing wine since 1599 and the winery was built in 1922. Senior Peter-Josef handed over the management of the business to his son Hans-Peter in 1987 and he is now the tenth generation to run the business with his wife Tanja. The vineyards cover four hectares of vines in the Kirchtürmchen, Schieferlay and Sonnenberg sites (Bad Neuenahr), as well as Rosenthal and Ursulinengarten (Ahrweiler).
They are planted with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Blauer Portugieser, Frühburgunder and Dornfelder, as well as the white wine varieties Müller-Thurgau and Riesling. The vineyards are cultivated conventionally, and pest control on the steep slopes is partly carried out by helicopter spraying. The soils are covered with straw to improve water retention and ensure an optimal supply of humus.

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