People & winemaking

Who is behind this winery

No named people on record.

Natural winery

The winery is a member of the Natural Wine Association — a union of grape growers and winemakers engaged only in organic viticulture and natural winemaking. The association issues its mark to a cellar, not to a single bottle, and it confirms that the winery works by the association’s rules.

  • The vineyard is kept to organic requirements; the grower looks after the environment and aims at a self-sustaining ecosystem.
  • Winemaking avoids methods and means that essentially alter the wine’s natural organoleptic properties.
  • Labels must be truthful and fully reflect the wine’s origin.

Association inspections: 2024, 2025.
