The story
The estate is connected to the Castel Turmhof complex and appears in local historical records; the family has managed vineyards and the cellar as a wine company for a long time (the cellar is reported active since 1848). Today the family-run management continues with quality wine production and a few distillate references for the wine bar and for retail.
