Amphora®, the UNESCO Awarded.
We are the first winery in Switzerland to accompany grapes and wines in traditional Georgian kvevris (clay amphorae). We are thus pioneering the revival of the oldest winemaking method in the world. Amphore® is a registered trademark of Albert Mathier & Söhne AG.
We have been working with Kvevris since 2009. Those for fermentation are located outdoors and are built directly into the vineyard. Since 2014, we also have an amphorium. Immediately after the harvest, the grapes are placed in amphorae for one year, where they ferment with the must. The turbid matter slowly sinks until the wine is clarified. Then it is aged for another year in acacia wood barrels, where it acquires its clarity without filtration. Today, the process belongs to the intellectual world heritage of UNESCO.
