As wild as it gets.
Situated 20km from Strasbourg, in the historical village of Wolxheim, Lissner is a mythological Alsatian Domaine whose motto is “la vigne est notre jardin”. The domaine was established in 1848 and is now led by Bruno Schloegel and his son Théo.
Rooted in a deep love for their land and a trust in nature's own expression, they follow a farming method inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka. This "hands-off" principle prioritizes weaving over vine trimming, creating a lively biodiversity in the vineyard. Their approach involves no soil tillage, no intervention on the vegetative canopy, homeopathic doses of copper and sulfur, handpicked grapes in crates, slow pressing, and spontaneous fermentations.
The plants prosper amidst grass, flowers and trees, giving them the opportunity to assert themselves and to compete. This results in robust, drought-resistant vines with flavorful, mineral-rich grapes. "We work with what nature gives us each vintage." This is as wild as it gets.
Dedicating themselves to traditional grape varieties like Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, and Gewürztraminer, Bruno and Théo do not add sulfur and do not perform any filtration.
Their wines are “wild, free, and alive” and incredibly stable over time.
