A consignor from BC, his passion for wine began 30 years ago. He built a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar in the 90s and stores his collection there. The bottles were all sourced either direct from the producers or through Marquis Wine Cellars in Vancouver.
Producer notes- This is one of the oldest wineries in this wine-growing region. As one of the founders of the Grosse Ring vdp.de in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer in 1908, the emphasis here has always been on tradtion and quality. The 'United Hospices' was built on the ruins of a Horrea, old roman warehouses. Two parallel rows of arcatures can be seen on the long side walls and the entrance is embellished with the well preserved roman brick floor. The figure of Saint Jacob with the walking staff on the label refers to the St. Jacob's Hospital in Trier. In the Middle Ages, wanderers found shelter there during their pilgrimage to Jacob's grave in Santiago de Compostela. Here all vineyards are managed with an eye toward nature and all ecological aspects are taken into account. The vines are planted in rows and only fertilized when needed with natural fertilizers like straw or manure. Before winter these are pruned to a very short length. This increases the quality and aroma of the grapes. The grapes are picked by hand and carefully selected. They are sorted according to their ripeness, which is very time consuming and skilled work. This painstaking diligence results in a wine of wonderful quality.
