Producer:
Luis Oberrauch wine manufacture
Luis owes his enthusiasm for viticulture to his godfather Heinrich. At a young age, he was allowed to help him work in the vineyards in Santa Maddalena (Bolzano) and thus gain his first experiences in viticulture and wine production. At the age of 13, Luis made his first wine under the guidance of his godfather. A passion for grapes and accompanying it into wine was born and it was clear which direction his education would take.
