Utzinger vignerons: Matthius and Lauren. “The adventure of cultivating our own grapes began in 2018. With five clones of Pinot Noir, six clones of Chardonnay, some Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah, our vineyard is planted at a high density of 6500 vines a hectare and a row spacing of 1.8m. The rich, ferrous top soil contains large volumes of dolerite pebbles and lays on top of a heavy clay subsoil, which acts as a natural sponge for water and nutrients. Our wines are crafted with maximum care and minimal intervention in order to truly represent their origin.” *only pre-booked tastings please
