I started making wine in 2012. Prior to this year, at a family reunion, I convinced my father to collaborate with me and break new ground. In the mid-nineties my brother and I chose different professions away from the family winery. My brother Thomas became an aerospace engineer, lived in South Korea for a few years and later on moved with his wife Hyeran and daughter Roxane to Augsburg. I studied Media Art and moved to Berlin in 2000, working as an art director and graphic designer. My parents Margit and Richard managed the family business until they retired in 2003. My father kept operating a small vineyard, the starting point for my vision of making wine based on my own conceptions. What started in 1713 with Johann Jakob Joachim now continues.

Natural processes in the vineyard are the focal point of our endeavours. We are pushing our abilities to get the best results possible: healthy grapes of distinguished quality. We consider plants, soil and animals as an elemental unity in sustainable wine making. For example, to support biodiversity, we maintain a healthy vegetation throughout the vineyard. We are working within the guidelines of organic farming.
