Bechtel Weine

Mathias Bechtel has been producing wine in Eglisau since 2008. In 2017, he took over a small winery with its own vines; after capacity was reached with the 2018 vintage, a new building tailored to his working methods was created in 2019. Today, the estate farms around six hectares with nine grape varieties on the south-facing slopes of Eglisau and Wil in the Rafzerfeld. The cellar allows for precise, gentle processing; grapes and must are partly moved by gravity. In the vineyards, species-rich meadows, wildflowers, dry-stone walls and other habitats promote biodiversity.
