Tradition Also Means: Work by Hand
Seven hundred years of estate history leave behind their legacy
The Eberlehof above Bolzano
was mentioned in a document
for the first time in 1312, and thus more than 700 years ago. It has
been in family possession since 1668 and for just as long, the family’s
coat of arms has been decorated by a pruning hook. And that is not
surprising, as the Eberlehof lies right in the middle of the classic
Santa Maddalena winegrowing zone.
And it is also not surprising
that the 700 years of estate and family history have left their legacy
behind and they are accompanied by an obligation to uphold tradition and
family. The latter becomes clear when it is realized that at the
Eberlehof, three generations
of the Zisser family are
involved at the same time in winegrowing. The elder Horst and his wife
Lisi bring along their experience. His son Tomas and his wife Margit
manage the vineyards and the winery along with their sons Christian and
Lukas and also take care of three vacation apartments at the estate
winery.
As far as upholding tradition is concerned, at the
Eberlehof it is first and foremost indigenous grape varieties that are
typical to the zone (Schiava, Lagrein, and Blatterle) which are grown on
pergola trellises, added to which Merlot also finds a spot in the
product line. “Just because of the steep location on the slopes, the
use of larger machines is already impossible, which is why we tend our vines, some of which are very old,
almost exclusively by hand,” explains Tomas Zisser. In addition,
because maturation takes place in large oak barrels, the red wines from
the Eberlehof are full-bodied and strong, and they express their
origins. Precisely as tradition would desire.
