Ritterhof

Producer description of "Ritterhof Weingut-Tenuta"

The winery is located in the municipality of Kaltern (Caldaro) in the Italian wine-growing area of South Tyrol ( Trentino-Alto Adige region). It was founded in 1968 and has been owned by the Roner family from Tramin since 1999. The administrator is Ludwig Kaneppele, and the cellar master in charge is Hannes Bernhard. Above the cellar buildings is the Ritterhof restaurant, where you can enjoy the wines of the winery as well as a large selection of other South Tyrolean wines and classic South Tyrolean dishes.

In addition to its own 7.5 hectares of vineyards, the Ritterhof also processes grapes from long-term contract winegrowers who cultivate a further 35 hectares. Most of the estate's own vineyards are located near the winery in Kaltern and Tramin, while the suppliers' vineyards are mainly located in the so-called Unterland region near Kurtatsch, Montan and Auer, as well as in the Bolzano valley floor. The white wine varieties Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Müller-Thurgau, Goldmuskateller and Gewürztraminer are processed to 40%, and the red wine varieties Lagrein, Vernatsch (Schiava Grossa), Rosenmuskateller, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to 60%. Great importance is attached to soil care. The vineyards are therefore cultivated in a natural, environmentally friendly way.
