The winery is located in the municipality of Hatzendorf-Fehring in the Austrian wine-growing region Vulkanland Steiermark. A wine tavern is attached. The winery has existed in this form since 1987 and is run by Franz and Martina Gölles. The vineyards cover seven hectares of their own vineyards; grapes are bought in from one hectare. The white wine varieties Welschriesling, Riesling, Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Morillon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Gelber Muskateller, as well as the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Merlot and St. Laurent are cultivated and processed.
