The winery is located in the municipality of Bad Dürkheim-Ungstein (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. It was founded in 1791 and is now run by Geisenheim graduate Michael Wolf and Marta Wolf. The family is supported by a young team of well-trained winemakers and oenologists with freedom to further develop the quality philosophy and high-quality independent wines. A wine tavern and the wine restaurant "Honigsäckel" are attached, where culinary wine tastings are also organised. The vineyards cover 17 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Bettelhaus, Herrenberg, Nussriegel, Osterberg and Weilberg (Ungstein), Nonnengarten (Bad Dürkheim), and Saumagen (Kallstadt). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling (6 ha), Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Silvaner, Scheurebe, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer, as well as with the red wine varieties Dornfelder, Pinot Noir, Blauer Portugieser, St. Laurent, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The vineyards are cultivated in an environmentally friendly manner according to holistic principles. An important quality-enhancing measure is the strict reduction of yields. The individual wines are vinified individually with the aim of achieving varietal and site characteristics. The red wines undergo exclusively traditional mash fermentation, the Select line is matured in barrique. Some of the wines are bottled without filtration. The premium wines include the Riesling "Lupus white" (late selective harvest, cold fermentation, stainless steel), the red wine cuvée "Lupus black" (barrique) and the Pinot Noir "Hocus Pocus". In years with suitable weather conditions, ice wines are also produced. Bottle-fermented sparkling wines are also produced. Around 120,000 bottles of wine are produced annually. Many other wine-related products are offered in the vinotheque, including the herbal liqueur "Lupus spiritus".

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
