Tuesday 1 May 2018, Open Wine Cellars at Schipf Winery

Red wines at Schipf are stored in wooden barrels

Today was the Day of the Open Wine Cellars along the Zurichsee. We took the boat from Thalwil to Erlenbach and had a 15 minute walk to the Schipf Winery, where they has tastings and a grill. See this link:

We tasted four whites and four reds. We ordered a case each of the Raeuschling 2016 and the Pinot Noir "Clevner" 2015, which will be ready to collect next week.

Wines from the Schipf winery available for tasting today

One of our earliest days out with the ZIWA Wine Discovery group was to this winery. It was organised by chairladies Nancy Callaway and Philippa Keller. Philippa's husband Hans-Walter had a family connection with the 600-year old vineyard. It hasn't changed much. Kaspar von Meyenburg and his family still own the vineyard. www.schipf.ch
