The winery is located in the municipality of Bolzano. The traditional farm was already mentioned in 1278 as "Dornhof" with an owner Frederici Dorn. The winery owes its current name to the owner Josef Anton Schloterpöck, who was mentioned as a "Kandler" (tinsmith) in 1777. The estate was then acquired by Johann Spornberger in 1793. Gregor Spornberger began bottling at the end of the 1960s. Today, the farm is run by his son Martin and Irene Spornberger, supported by their son Hannes. The long family ownership was finally recognized in 1993 by the province of South Tyrol with the title of "Erbhof". The vineyards cover two hectares of vines in the Pergl (pergola) training system. They are planted with the red wine varieties Vernatsch, Lagrein and Merlot as well as the white wine variety Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards are cultivated conventionally. The wines are matured in the old vaulted cellar according to variety and site, white and rosé wines in steel tanks, the red wines mainly in large wooden barrels. They are mainly vinified as South Tyrolean DOC quality wines. The farm's most important and typical wine is the St. Magdalener Classico. Around 20,000 bottles of wine are produced each year. The winery is a member of the associations "Freie Weinbauern Südtirol" and "Roter Hahn" (vacation on the farm).
