Good wine is primarily produced in the vineyard. Because it is part of the system, we only use our own grapes.
We cultivate 17 different types of wines of the highest quality from ten different grape varieties.
The terroir and the vines – they speak to me. My knowledge and experience as a thoroughbred winemaker would be not sufficient without this feeling for my six hectares of vines, which I inherited from my father in 1987. I know what they need and when they need something. This gives me the chance to vinify the fifteen wines from the ten grape varieties exactly as I imagine them: honest, unfussy, soft, juicy, close to nature and therefore rich in character and elegance.
For years now, our winery has been working purely biologically without herbicides and synthetic crop protection products.
The proximity to nature that everyone is now talking about has been put into practice in our vineyards and in our cellar for years. Pioneers are ahead of their time. The best proof of this is the Cornalin, which has received several awards.
Barrier-free (wheelchair accessible)
What do you associate with wine enjoyment? Exactly! Enjoying, tasting and debating together. A good wine, like a silent companion, is simply there when we negotiate the big issues of life. On such rounds we deepen friendships and feel we are in safe hands. Sometimes, however, wine alone is the subject – then we explore its contours and sharpen our preferences. Ideal for this are wine fairs or the popular wine ships where I am personally present.

The artists' village of Veyras, where Rainer Maria Rilke lived, the Raspille Gorge, the Valais Wine Museum in the Zumofenhaus in Salgesch and the village of Varen are all well worth seeing. Another possibility goes through the forest of Pfyn/Finges.
