Schloss Englar

The Castel/Schloss Englar complex is a medieval settlement first mentioned in documents from 1256; the present late‑Gothic building developed from the 15th century and the property has been linked for centuries to the Counts Khuen‑Belasi. In recent decades the manor has been restored and also converted for hospitality use; wine production was revived and, since 2014, winemaking has again been carried out and bottled on site.

The winery focuses on estate-grown grapes, organic vineyard management and the preservation of biodiversity. In the cellar, careful winemaking practices are preferred to produce clean wines characteristic of the area, with extended aging in wood and respect for maturation on the lees when necessary.

Located in San Michele di Appiano, the estate stands on a south-facing terraced hill with an almost Mediterranean influence. The area benefits from ample sunshine and soils well suited to alpine and international varieties.

Wine ratings reported by specialist magazines, with scores for various reserve wines reaching up to around 93/100 for labels such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir Reserve; numerous labels reviewed with scores in the 91–93/100 range.
