Degenfeld Winery

The centre of the Degenfeld estate is situated in a park at the foot of the vineyards, alongside the Castle Hotel. The winery was built around the cellar system, which is over a hundred years old, and the adjoining old wine house with its porch. The design and layout of the new building were determined by the shared axis of the castle and the cellar system, which on the ground floor also serves as the path leading to the cellar and the new processing area, whilst on either side the sloping vineyards lead up to the upper floor, to the porch of the old wine house. The two-storey processing and handling area was built in front of the porch, whilst the tank room and the bottling and finished goods warehouse wings were situated on either side of the central axis. In addition to serving as a temporary storage and work area, the central space also occasionally provides a venue for events, festivals and concerts.
