TRADITION SINCE 1813
Wine gives pleasure to a person´s heart
THE BIBLE
Tradition and Innovation – two poles which characterize us
In 1813 Konrad Knobloch bought the distinctive wine press which continues to be the emblem of our family tradition. Until today the original wine press has a place on the premises of our winery and served as the inspiration for the design of our logo.
Both buildings and wine barrels have moving stories to tell. A tour through the impressive wine cellar invites the visitor to marvel at the successful integration of old and new elements.
Again and again new ideas, smart decisions and an extra portion of blessings have shaped the history of our wine estate. The foundation of tradition and experience is the basis upon which we can meet the challenges of today with responsibility, courage, innovative spirit and creative drive.
SINCE 1813 the original wine press has a place on the premises of our winery and served as the inspiration for the design of our logo.
