He himself had introduced this wine variety from France and thus ensured its initial spread and its popularity, which is still unbroken today!

Here at the Innerleiterhof Winery, at 450 meters above sea level, the pinot blanc feels particularly at home," says Karl Pichler, winemaker of the eponymous winery. The 40-year-old vines are still in full yield and get everything from the warm, mineral soil of the vineyards, which are all located directly around the winery. Wine has been grown here on the farm for 3 generations, in 2011 came the big change, since then the grapes no longer travel to the winery in Merano after the harvest, but are grown and vinified in the new, modern farm winery.
