Domäne Roland Chan was founded in 2017 by Roland Müksch, a graduate engineer, and his wife, Dr Sharon Chan, which explains the winery's name, which is rather atypical for a Wachau winery. In the first three years, about half a hectare of steep terraces in the Höll and Bach sites were planted. In 2021, vineyard sites in Achleiten and Klaus were acquired, as well as a vintner's house in Sankt Michael. Today, around 9,000 bottles are produced on 2.5 hectares.
Top winemaker Christoph Donabaum is responsible for the vinification, together with Roland Müksch. The steep terraces require three multiple passages to obtain grapes that meet the owner's expectations. Longer macerations before pressing are desired. The wines are then aged for an extended period on fine lees and bottled unfiltered. Domaine Chan's wines are released two years after the harvest.
The wines have already received very high ratings from James Suckling (93 points for the Riesling Ried Bach 2019) and Falstaff (94 points for the Riesling Ried Bach 2020), and the winery is also a two-time trophy winner at the Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Competition.
