Winery
The Niedermayr family's Hof Gandberg wine estate stands on the sunny slope above San Michele in Appiano-here around typical South Tyrolean farmstead at 530 m above sea level the grapes destined for the winery and eventually the bottle are born and ripen. Thomas young winemaker following the example of his father Rudy, organic pioneer for over twenty'years and since 2013 has dedicated himself with enormous entusisamo and continuous research to Piwi varieties, i.e. varieties resistant to the main vine diseases, which allow to maintain a natural balance of the'ecosystem, avoid invasive phytosanitary treatments, obtaining healthy wines, great personality with exceptional results. Keeping the'entire production process pristine, from vine to bottle, is a great challenge. For Thomas Niedermayr, the process begins early on. In the soil. In the mother earth itself. Only healthy, fertile soil can grow hardy, thriving plants. Those who tread the estate's soil come across Indian running ducks, chickens, lovingly tended gardens where vegetables and herbs thrive, and immediately notice the wild plants growing among the vines. Solaris, Bronner, Sauvigner gris, and Carbernet Carbon are among the outstanding wines from the Hof Gandferg Estate production
