Founded in 1756, the J.L. Wolf estate was a very
successful and highly regarded winery for more than two
centuries. It entered an especially glamorous era with
the construction of its Italianate estate house and
villa in 1843. In the latter years of the 20th century,
however, the estate languished, lacking a firm hand to
guide its wine production. Ernst Loosen, of the Dr.
Loosen estate, took over the vineyards in 1996,
launching a dramatic turnaround in the estate’s quality
and reputation. |
