PACHERHOFER WINERY
IN NEUSTIFT/VAHRN
„Altes begegnet Neuem – beides hat Platz, To reconcile the historical heritage and the current re-
quirements of the winery of the Huber Family, the archi-
ohne dass das eine das andere in den Schatten stellt“ tects from Bergmeisterwolf built the new production
Winzerfamilie Huber plant underground. Here, centuries-old building structu-
res meet contemporary interior design, while above the
turf – similar to an iceberg – only a small but self-confi-
dently fraction of the new building can be seen.
E German Empire, wine was already being cultivated at the Pa-
Grundriss Obergeschoss • Upper floor plan ven before Friedrich Barbarossa became emperor of the Roman-
cherhof. The Huber Family (formerly Pacher) has been operating the
winery in the Eisack Valley near Brixen for more than 800 years. A
testimony to the far-reaching family and winemaking tradition is the
Grundriss Erdgeschoss • Ground floor plan listed winery dating from the 11th century, which has been continu-
ally extended by new building structures. Today, the family also
runs a hotel business and combines tourism, gastronomy, events,
and winemaking including production and storage facilities on the
grounds. The latest addition to the building complex is the exten-
sion of the vaulted cellar complex built in 1450 by the architects
from Bergmeisterwolf. A new staircase tunnel now leads from the
renovated existing building with its newly fitted out tasting rooms
to an underground production facility, which functions as a hotel
car park above ground. A monolithic tower with bronze plate clad-
ding is a well visible indication of the functional new building. On
the upper floor, the structure, which is sloped to form a truncated
pyramid, provides offices with views of the courtyard and vineyards,
while the ground floor is used as a garage for harvesting machines
and, thanks to the floor opening, as a weather-protected area for
supplying the plant below with harvested crops. A threshold-free
entrance was created for this by means of a sliding door mechanism
that is invisible when closed, which was installed to open a large-
Grundriss Keller • Basement floor plan format façade segment. When detailing the project, the architects
attached particular importance to an arrangement of the required
areas of use suitable for everyday use both in the basement and in
the new building, as well as to a high-quality interior design which
cultivates an exciting interplay between different spatial volumes
and surface feels as well as natural and artificial light sources. Nu-
merous selected materials are used in their natural appearance and
give the wine cellar as a whole an aesthetic, calm radiance that
Schnitt • Section does not require any gimmickry.
