The winery in the region of South Tyrol

The vineyards stretch along the slopes of the surrounding mountains and benefit from the cool breezes and abundant hours of sunshine.

The vines thrive on a variety of soils known for their distinctive characteristics. Soils include limestone, shale and porphyry sand. These diverse soil types contribute to the complexity and finesse of the wines, giving them their distinctive character.

Variety of cultivated grape varieties

Schlossweingut Stachlburg grows a wide range of grape varieties to offer wines with different flavor profiles and styles. The grape varieties grown include:

• Riesling
• Sauvignon Blanc
• Gewürztraminer
• Kerner
• Pinot Grigio

The grape varieties are carefully selected and cultivated according to the highest quality standards. Stachlburg has been certified organic for many years and has submitted to the strict regulations of Bioland. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently processed to preserve the full potential of the grape varieties. The result is wines of exceptional quality that reflect the personality of the winery and the region. What stands out most at Stachlburg is the avoidance of unnecessary "tinkering" with the wines. Thus, care is also taken to add as little sulfur as possible. Often only half the permitted amount is used.
