A brief history
The winery family of Schloss Plars has a long tradition that began in 1911 with Grandfather Franz. He brought his knowledge from the Klosterneuburg Wine School and laid the foundation for the estate. Since the 1970s, the estate has expanded to include a guest operation while never neglecting its roots in viticulture. In the third generation, Andreas focuses on producing wine in-house and selling it through the estate, while the fourth generation, represented by his son Moritz, is ready to carry on this legacy.
The terroir of Schloss Plars is diverse, allowing for excellent wines. The Raut vineyard produces Vernatsch and Lagrein grapes, while Torggl offers ideal conditions for Sauvignon, Lagrein, and Merlot. The Broat vineyard benefits from mineral-rich soils and the Vinschg’er wind, resulting in high-quality Weißburgunder.
Wine production at Schloss Plars combines traditional knowledge with modern technology to create premium wines that reflect the terroir’s character. In the historical cellars, the wines are crafted with passion under Andreas' direction. This blend of old traditions and innovative methods results in distinctive wines that receive recognition both nationally and internationally.
