Winery

Connected to the soil and always open to new things characterise our work. The vineyards are cultivated expertly and ecologically, the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and the wine is given plenty of time to develop in the cellar.

Food recommendation

Pinot Gris is the classic wine to accompany duck and goose, but also goes well with fish dishes and spicy salads
