The winery is located in the municipality of Neef (in the area of Cochem Castle) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The coat of arms of the traditional family dates back to 1570. In 1997, the country inn "Zur Blauen Traube" was opened. Guest rooms and holiday flats are also available for rent. The winery is run by Hans-Peter Amlinger, and his son Christian Amlinger has been working in the winery since 2006 after completing his studies as a Dilpom business information scientist and internships in various wineries.
The vineyards cover ten hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Abtei Klosterstuben and Calmont (Bremm), Frauenberg, Petersberg and Rosenberg (Neef) as well as Brautrock (Bullay). The white wine varieties Riesling, Chardonnay, Bacchus, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau, Elbling and Optima, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir, Dornfelder, Regent, Dunkelfelder, Cabernet Dorsa and Pinot Meunier are cultivated and processed.
Only healthy and ripe grapes are harvested selectively by hand in several stages and then gently processed using the force of gravity. Vinification is carried out according to non-invasive rules with as few interventions as possible. After pneumatic pressing and destemming, which is precisely adapted to the variety, temperature-controlled fermentation takes place and, depending on the type of wine, ageing takes place in steel tanks or in barriques. In years with suitable weather conditions, ice wines are also produced. In addition, bottle-fermented sparkling wines, various noble brandies (marc, yeast, wine, fruit), liqueurs, grape juices and grape seed oil are also produced. The winery is a member of the Generation Riesling association.
