Holger Koch

Holger Koch and Gabriele Engesser founded the estate in 2001 and brought the winemaking back into their own cellar at that time. The family-run winery farms 7.5 hectares in and around Vogtsburg-Bickensohl; the vineyards are no more than about ten minutes from the cellar by tractor. In the vineyard, the estate avoids herbicides and synthetic fertilisers, working with organic nutrition, diverse cover crops and ecological plant protection. In the cellar, native yeasts from the grapes, restrained vinification and extended lees ageing shape the style.
