Words from the winemaker

Our story

What connects us with this winery...

Our employee Augusto often works at the Diroso winery in his free time and he introduced us to it. We admire the Baumann family's great commitment to sustainability in dealing with flora and fauna and we can particularly recommend their white PIWI wines to you.

DIROSO Winery

As winegrowers, the Baumann family works in and with nature all year round. Sustainability in dealing with flora and fauna is therefore a top priority for them and the DIROSO winery is setting new standards in Valais in terms of winegrowing that is suitable for grandchildren.

The almost 4 hectares of vineyards are planted with grass and they do not use weedkillers. The traditional vines are only treated with organic products. They are also the driving force in Valais when it comes to natural viticulture with fungus-resistant grape varieties. These relatively unknown grape varieties allow them to produce organic grapes without the use of pesticides.

Since September 2019, the brothers Diego and Roman have been managing the company in the second generation. They are actively supported on site by Nina Baumann-Salzmann. Sonja Geoffray-Baumann is on hand to advise on oenological matters. She is also responsible for our fantastic label designs. Hans-Peter & Irene Baumann have - after twenty intensive years of development - taken their well-deserved retirement and are now taking it a little easier, but are still indispensable to the family business.

Incidentally, the company name was created back in 1989 and combines the first letters of the three siblings Diego, Roman & Sonja.

Gewürztraminer

«A grape variety with a strong primary aroma»

Because of its slightly reddish grape colour, Gewürztraminer is also called Roter Traminer. Its origin is not exactly known, but it is probably in south-eastern Europe. The name comes from Tramin in South Tyrol, where the grape has been cultivated since the 11th century. In Valais, it is rather rare and is usually not pressed pure. Gewürztraminer produces very aromatic wines with a fragrance reminiscent of rose petals and lychee.

The soil also has an influence on the taste: the granite soils in Alsace - where two-thirds of the world's production comes from - give the white wine a different aroma than the soils here in Valais. Here, Gewürztraminer is much less sweet.
