A small hotel and an inn are attached. Today, the farm is run by Wolfgang Maitz jun.

In the vineyard, each grape variety is meticulously cared for in terms of suitable/correct subsoil, vineyard, vine training and foliage care, yield limitation and ripeness stage at harvest. The quality pyramid consists of the lines SÜDSTEIERMARK - "Steirische Klassik", RATSCHer - "Ortsweine", KROIS - "Lagenwein", SCHUSTERBERG - "Erste STK Lage" and HOCHSTERMETZBERG - "Große STK Lage".
