In 2006 Martha and Daniel Gantenbein had the winery expanded by the architects Valentin Bearth , Andrea Deplazes and Daniel Ladner with a two-storey wine press and tasting hall . The 300 square meter facade consists of 72 wall elements made of bonded bricks . The translucent facade creates a varied play of light and shadow in the fermentation hall. From a distance you can see an ornament with huge grapes in the facade.

The architects received the Award for Marketing + Architecture 2008 (1st prize in the commercial and industrial buildings category ), the International Wienerberger Brick Award 2008 (2nd prize) and the 2007 Daylight Award for the property . There was also recognition of the Balthasar Neumann Prize 2008. (→ Wine Architecture )
