They live AND work in the village of Eguisheim in Alsace, France. Some 40 years ago, Hubert helped his father plant their family’s 3.9 hectares of vineyards on the sloped foothills of the Vosges Mountains just behind their house (and winery). As was customary in the old days, and to foster vineyard diversity, they planted each vineyard parcel with multiple varieties.  Hubert follows the same, simple mantra that has long guided the most respected vignerons in the wine world – the real, hard work is done in the vineyard. Hubert farms his family’s vineyards organically (since 2006!) and biodynamically with his horse, Skippy (no tractors!), and his own hands. He only uses a clay-based treatment in the vineyard
