“The foundation of a wine is laid in the vineyard, and it is there that quality and individuality are determined. That is why we hold respect for nature and the vineyard ecosystem particularly dear.”

Our passion

We want to vinify wines that vibrate and are long-lasting.
We want to know our vines to understand what benefits them. We want to hold our grapes in our hands before they become wine. And we want life to thrive in our vineyards: in the soil, in the air, between the vine rows, and most importantly, in the vines themselves. The higher the biodiversity, the better it is for the soils and wines.

Natural quality

To produce quality at the highest level, it takes "a good team":
excellent sites and soils, consistent care and attention throughout the year, absolute diligence in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, and of course, a lot of knowledge and dedicated people! Only in this way can we bring the characteristics of our creations as authentically as possible into the bottle: balanced, terroir-specific, and finely structured.
