OUR VINEYARDS

In Gunten, over the last few years we have turned one hectare
of overgrown steep slope into a young vineyard.

All work on the slope is done by hand and on foot, in order not to compact the soil;
for this reason terracing was decided against,
as on such a steep gradient heavy machinery would be involved.

We graze Skudden sheep on the vineyard, which both controls the undergrowth
and the foliage and allows us to avoid the need for artificial fertilizers.

On a southwestern exposure with a view of the high Alpine peaks
of the Bernese Oberland, Pinot Noir grapes now grow and ripen
together with the non-local varieties Nebbiolo, Moscato and Cornalin d'Aoste,
all treated with the utmost care and nurtured without the use of synthetic pesticides.

In our cellar the wines are vinified without the addition of sulphites
and are naturally fermented and unfiltered.
