What doesn't one do for love? You search for words, write poems, compose songs, travel to remote places - or simply make wine. Love is the driving force for the Engel family; love of the vines and love of the craft.
The Engelhof did not have a great tradition in wine making and in the beginning it was nothing more and nothing less than one of Simon Engel's crazy ideas, too compelling to ignore.
Over the years, the idea has taken shape and is now deeply rooted in the volcanic weathered soils around the Königsberg. For the Engels, the wines of the house are snapshots, bottled. They represent their notion of freedom and development.
The soil on which this happens is the frame, the wine is its image.
