Rametz

- Around 1860, the most noble grapes, such as Rheinriesling, Blauburgunder, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon had found an excellent breeding ground.
- The special position of these lovingly attended Gujot vineyards, leads to extremely high-quality grapes which, due to state-of-the-art cellar technology, are fermented to become our prize-winning wines.
- The wine-growing estate is situated on a hill formed by glacial deposits. Its porous soil and the openness of the Merano basin provide ideal conditions for wine production. The climate here benefits from a Mediterranean influence: in the North the Merano basin is protected from the harsh northerly winds by the Texel mountain range with its peaks reaching up to 3.000 m – in the South it opens up to the sun.
- As a result of this exceptional position the Guyot vines, which are tended with loving care, produce first-rate grapes which, in turn, by means of the most modern cellar technology develop into top quality wines.
- In the typical pergola system of cultivation the arbour, in the shape of a sunblind, helps to prevent the sun from drying out the soil and thereby the earth can store moisture longer. Approximately 10 hectares of vines under cultivation belong to Rametz Castle.
- The large wine cellar was built in 1880 and it is certainly one of the most beautiful of its kind in the Burggrafenamt area. The small wine cellar dates back to the 12th century. This is where our precious cask wines are made.
