Hofladen St. Quirinus

St. Quirinus organic wine farm run by the Sinn family stands amidst wine estates in Oberplanitzing in Kaltern steeped in tradition. Numerous grapes thrive in ideal climactic conditions on chalky and gravelly soil as well as on porphyry rock. "Our organic wines shimmer with fruitiness, structure and elegance", explain Robert, the farmer, and his son Michael.

St. Quirinus offers different wines: 
- white wines (Charonnay DOC, Planties, Savuginon DOC, Pinot Blanc DOC)-  rosé (Planties)-  red wines (Pinot Noir DOC, Grauvernatsch DOC, Kalterersee DOC, Lagrein DOC, Planties)- sparkling wines (Brut, Brut rosé), each 0.75 litre

Wine - In vino veritas

This is especially true of a glass of wine bearing the ‘Red Rooster’ trademark. Own-produced grapes of the highest quality as well as careful processing on the farm guarantee a uniquely enjoyable effect on the palate. South Tyrol’s sunshine and clear mountain air lend the grapes their special aroma. It’s good that the origin of the grapes – straight from the farm – plays such a crucial role at ‘Red Rooster’. The farmers take the processing of grapes seriously, as well as taking care to get rid of any grasses and weeds around the vines using mechanical means. A board of experts then tests the sensory quality of the wine.

From the MeBo dual carriageway (Eppan exit), drive in the direction of Eppan and carry on towards Kaltern and on to Unterplanitzing, before turning right towards Oberplanitzing. Follow the road for around 400 metres until you get to the drive to the farm.
