H.O. Spanier has brought the famous Frauenberg vineyard back into the consciousness of wine lovers after a long period of obscurity. Exposed on a mountain ridge at an altitude of 240 metres, with pure limestone rock and a southeasterly orientation, the constant winds allow the grapes to stand as if in a wind tunnel. This allows for a late harvest every year, when the grapes are perfectly ripe.
The historic site was first mentioned in a document as early as 1290 under the name ‘an frauwenhalten’ and was originally owned by a nunnery.
The wines from the Frauenberg are fermented spontaneously after strict selection by hand and matured in casks.
