The traditional winery is located in the municipality of Forst (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. It has been family-owned since 1620, making it one of the oldest wineries in Germany. Today it is run by Markus Spindler, the 11th generation of the family. There is an adjoining estate pub, open all year round, where local dishes and wines from the estate's own production are served. The vineyards cover 20 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Elster, Freundstück, Jesuitengarten, Kirchenstück, Musenhang, Pechstein, Stift and Ungeheuer (Forst), Herrgottsacker (Deidesheim), as well as Nußbien and Reiterpfad (Ruppertsberg).
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!
