A few months ago, the wine industry was caught by surprise when owner Klaus Reif announced that the winery is for sale for $25 million. Originally planted in 1977, the winery now has 125-acres under vine. Fun facts about this winery:
- 29 stainless steel tanks
- Makes 700,000 litres of wines each year
- three warehouses for storing wines & all the essential farm equipment
- a 3300 square foot, multi level English Tudor style home built in 1988
- a 1300 square foot farm workers’ house
Klaus Reif is part of a long line of winemakers dating back 13 generations. He has extremely large shoes to fill when he sells the winery.
