In 1999, Joerg spent a layover from his flying commitments, touring New Zealand. At the behest of many people, he headed south from Auckland to the South Island, and found a winery in the Gibson Valley.
Joerg bought the winery in 2000, thus fulfilling a long-held ambition and closing out a search that had stretched though Europe, South America, and South Africa.
He prompted alot curiosity from his grape growing neighbours, by introducing the local community to grappa, a traditional drink made from grape skins. This led to partnerships in brandy production and producing that quintessentially German tipple, schnapps.
Joerg speaks about his passion for fresh produce, the three main flavour transporters, the effect of sugar on distilled beverages, quinces – the ‘forgotten fruit’, and the impact of COVID-19 upon business, the community and its potential upside for domestic tourism.
