Vineyard
Our wine-growing estate is situated in the southern tip of the wine-growing area of the South Palatinate. Bordering Alsace, this is regarded as one of the most innovative wine regions in Germany. In this Mediterranean climate not only grapes, but also figs, sweet chestnuts, kiwis and lemons flourish.
