Peter Zemmer Riesling "Rohacker" DOC

The traditional family winery Peter Zemmer has been measuring itself by the quality of its wines for years - this has not changed since its foundation by great-uncle Peter Zemmer. Neither has nature, the origin of the exquisite fruit from which the winery presses wine, changed. It is therefore hardly surprising that Peter Zemmer has great respect for the nature of the South Tyrolean lowlands and wants to protect it with all means at his disposal. The sustainable cultivation is supported by responsible and nature-orientated measures. For example, the entire estate is powered by solar energy - pollutant-free, quiet, efficient. The vineyards resemble a garden that radiates colorful biodiversity and provides a habitat for animals and insects. A beneficial symbiosis, because thanks to the industrious little helpers, pest control is easy. Nature knows how to unfold, to help and to create fabulous wine - with a little help from passionate winemakers from the Peter Zemmer Winery.

In 1928, Peter Zemmer, the great uncle of the present winemaker of the same name, established the winery. Vineyards and wineries in the best locations around Cortina s.s.d.v. in the lowlands of Alto Adige have been part of the winery since then. Helmut Zemmer, the founder’s nephew, has always been working in the business and after the early death of his uncle in 1969, he took over the winery, which he has turned into one of the leading companies in the region. Now his son Peter continues the legacy in the interest of his family. Peter Zemmer’s precious experience, detailed and innovative knowledge, together with the perfect natural environment, guarantee the quality and the expressive character of the wines, in harmony with the surrounding nature.
