WE’RE HERE FOR A GOUTTE TIME.

We fell in love during the hot harvest of 2018 in Burgenland, and soon germinated the idea to start our own small wine project. Both of us were cooking professionally as a first career, which we eventually ditched to go into wine full time.

Emily was the Wine Director of Restaurant Candide in Montreal from 2016 up to summer 2023, working remotely from her home in Europe. She is also a week-end wine writer, her work is occasionally published in magazines and web platforms in English and French. Christoph has studied Oenology and Viticulture in Neustadt (Germany), where he learned a lot of important school stuff. He worked for Clemens Busch during his studies, before moving to Austria to be part of the team at Weninger, where he spent four harvests. Our first vintage was made on the austro-hungarian border in 2019.

During the winter of 2021, we relocated to Germany, in the beautiful region of Franken. We now have completed the succession of 4.2 hectares of vineyards from Linda & Erhard Haßold, who have welcomed us on their Weinhof am Nussbaum. They have farmed according to organic principles for more than 30 years (certification in 1991, a rarity in the region), always striving to find better solutions respectful of the plant and the environment. Theirs views are very much aligned with ours and we are humbled to carry the torch of this farm into the future.

We also devote a portion of our time farming vegetables and fruits, which end up in our vast array of preserves, tucked in our basement for the winter months or sold on the shelves of a few stores, notably Café Vue in Würzburg.

We encourage you to try our wines over a large variety of moods. We hope you like drinking them as much as we enjoyed making them.

Christoph & Emily
