"We don't talk about quality - we take quality for granted."
Hanspeter
Ziereisen
Quality is mainly generated in the vineyard. We work with utmost
care to create the conditions for high-class wines. In the cellar we only do the
minimum of work necessary allowing the wines to rest and time to mature.
"The
French swear by their terroir - in this respect I am a Frenchman."
Hanspeter
Ziereisen
Our philosophy is that wines should reflect their provenance
as purely as possible. This is why we treat our vines and wines with great care
by minimizing chemical treatments and filtration. In the vineyards we try to make
use of the traditions that our ancestors passed along to us.
"We produce
muscular wines. Not sumo wrestlers but decathletes; smooth, elegant, strong, and
athletic."
Strength and balance is our target. We aim to achieve a
balance between acidity, tannin, alcohol, and aroma.
"Our wines reflect
their vintage. No year tastes quite like another."
"Recipe winemaking
is a horror for us. Individuality is the signature of Ziereisen."
