„Art is not the bread,
but the wine of life“

Jean Paul

Winemaker and painter

Every winter, the calm time of the year, the pruning shears are sometimes exchanged for the painting brush. Georg, the winemaker, then brings to the canvas the impressions gained and experiences made the year through. Sometimes the paintings created in silence, can be admired on our Magnum bottles the following year.
