The stated discipline is plain enough: "Quality is made in the vineyard. We work with utmost care to create the conditions for high-class wines."

In Their Words “Quality is made in the vineyard. We work with utmost care to create the conditions for high-class wines.” The first line places Hanspeter Ziereisen within a regional conversation in Baden, south-west Germany, shaped by producers responding to restrictions they see as overbearing. The second states the working method directly: careful vineyard work, close observation, and the view that quality is established before the wine reaches the cellar.
