Ritterhof is a family-run estate in South Tyrol, founded by Emil Nüesch in 1967 and acquired by the Roner family in 1999. Since 2021, Eva Kaneppele, the family’s fourth generation, has directed the winery. Oenologist and cellar master Hannes Bernard oversees winemaking in close collaboration with the family. The estate emphasizes cultivation in harmony with nature, although no formal organic or biodynamic certification is noted.
