Weingut Schwarz

The family-run Schwarz winery is located in Freienstein in Zurich’s Unterland and is shaped by Andreas Schwarz, who has continued developing his parents’ estate since 2003. The estate farms organically and does not use herbicides; sheep help maintain the vineyards. In the cellar, the wines are handled according to the gravity-flow principle and with as little intervention as possible. The winery cites, among its working methods, wild yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, a gravity-flow cellar and compost tea. The family combines nature-oriented vineyard work with distinctive vinification.
