The winery is located in the municipality of Retzstadt (Maindreieck area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. The estate has been producing its own wines since 2004, although the family has had its own vineyards for over three generations. By linking the family production businesses to form the "Koch family of winegrowers", Andreas Koch has succeeded in putting together a manageable range of his own wines. The vineyards in the Retztal and adjacent Maintal cover five hectares of vineyards in the single vineyards Benediktusberg (Retzbach), Langenberg (Retzstadt) and Stein (Stetten). They are mainly planted with the white wine varieties Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, Rieslaner, Kernling and Pinot Gris, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Domina. The vineyards are cultivated in a conventional, environmentally friendly way according to the philosophy of the house "in harmony with nature".
