New Wine from Old Roots
The Hännsl am Ort has been around since the Middle Ages, but the estate winery only since 2003
The name of the farm originates from the Middle Ages, but Hännsl am Ort
in Lana has only been an estate winery since 2003. At that time, the
Kerschbamer family decided to give winegrowing a chance – and to bring
their own wines to the market by themselves.
With winegrowing,
the family decided to provide their farm with an even broader economic
foundation. Earlier on, this already consisted of apple and asparagus
growing, and grapes were added shortly after the start of the new
millennium, with the desire, however, not deliver them to one of the
large cooperative wineries, but rather to work with them themselves.
“Since that time, we have been growing grapes and making our own wines:
whites, reds, rosés, and cuvées,” says Norbert Kerschbamer, winegrower at the Hännsl am Ort Estate Winery in Lana.
With
regard to grape varieties, Kerschbamer follows the path that is rich
in tradition. He thus focuses on the classic varieties with Schiava and
Pinot Noir, Lagrein and Merlot, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. They
are made into varietal wines, for instance a fresh Chardonnay, an
aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, or a fruity Schiava, which is absolutely the
Alto Adige classic.
In contrast, “Ogethn” is Kerschbamer’s name for his cuvée of Merlot and Cabernet grapeswith which he has expanded his product line by a deep red wine. The
name of the farm may therefore be medieval, but the wines that are
produced at the Hännsl am Ort Estate Winery in Lana most definitely are
not.
