HAUKSSON WEINE
Growing Wines that faithfully reflect their Swiss Alpine Origin
OUR VINEYARDS
REMIGEN, AARGAU
Located in the County Remigen on the North side of the Alps, our plots Alpberg, Horn and Rütiberg are planted to Pinot Noir, Müller-Thurgau, Riesling and some local varieties. The vines are mostly between 20 and 40 years old and are in their prime.
The South facing plots are limestone dominated with a thin layer of loam or clay based topsoil.
GORDEMO, TICINO
On the South side of the Alps, our plot in Gordemo is a steep South facing parcel right below the village center and it is planted mostly to Merlot. The vines have been continuously renewed, but the oldest ones are around 100 years old.
The thin layer of soil on top of the alpine rock is dry and light. The vines have to work hard for their life and yields are very low.
DÖTTINGEN, AARGAU
Döttingen is near Remigen close to the German borders. Here we have Pinot Noir, Malbec, Blaufränkisch, Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau and Sauvignon Blanc.
The sunny South facing slopes have moderate amounts of rain and Burgundian soils.

About
"After 20 years of desk bound work, I finally made the break in the Spring of 2017 and decided to become a full time farmer and winemaker. There is a primitive pleasure that comes from feeling the sun on your back, the sweat on your forehead and having a physical product in your hands at the end of a successful growing season.
Treating the land with respect and working in harmony with nature is important to us. We believe the best way to grow wines that are expressive of their terroir is to farm organically. We are starting our conversion to organic biodynamic farming on January 1st 2018."
