The Kellerei Meran was established in 2010 from the merger of the traditional wineries Weinkellerei Meran and Bruggräfler Kellerei. The winery is located in the heart of the Burggraviate, open to the south and protected to the north by the Texel Mountains. Ideal conditions for the many small and micro-producers who cultivate an area of 250 hectares with the finest vineyard sites. Strong temperature variations between day and night produce intense, fruity harvests. The wines of the winery are ambassadors of a fertile landscape on the south side of the Alps. The new building of Kellerei Meran in Marling is equipped with the latest technology, and the new wooden barrel and barrique cellar also offers optimal conditions for producing top wines.
