The winery is located in the municipality of Bad Dürkheim (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. It is managed by Dipl. Ing. Joachim Wegner. The vineyards cover eleven hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Fronhof, Fuchsmantel, Rittergarten and Spielberg (Bad Dürkheim) and Herrenberg (Ungstein). They are 60% planted with the white wine varieties Riesling (one third), Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Auxerrois, Scheurebe and Sauvignon Blanc, and 40% with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Dornfelder, Cabernet Cubin and Merlot. The vineyards are cultivated in an environmentally friendly manner with cover crop and fertilised with compost and horse manure and largely without mineral fertilisers. The red wine grapes for the top brands are greatly reduced in yield by grape splitting.
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!
