The vineyards are in a sunny area, characterized by hot days and fresh nights, that fits perfectly with the cultivation of the White Pinot, Sauvignon and Gewürztraminer varieties.
Mostly the Riesling of Falkenstein is considered one of the best wines in the southern Germany.
Nowadays Franz Pratzner embattles nearly 60.000 bottles per year.
Moreover distills montovitigno grappas and fruit spirits.
The multi rewarded wines and spirits by Falkenstein can be also tasted in the annex restaurant, at the presence of a outstanding panoramic view.
