There was no way around organic and natural wines. In striving for the purest quality, Thomas and Claudia Hareter always came back to basics: absolutely residue-free grapes. And that was and is only possible if they grow in an unadulterated and truly healthy environment: no herbicides, no pesticides, no mineral fertilisers, no bare soil, but rather an interplay of herbs and weeds, early detection and prevention of diseases, targeted use of organic matter to strengthen the vines and preserve the diversity of life in the vineyard. "Once you have recognised the power of nature and the connections out there, sustainability, environmental awareness and thus organic farming are the only consequences of our thought processes," says Thomas Hareter.
The winery's motto comes from Charles Darwin and reads: "Anything that is against nature will not last in the long run." The Hareter wines are one thing above all: honest and unadulterated. Each one is developed according to its own characteristics, not uniform, each one is left to its own fruit. Not marmalade-like, not woody, each wine has its own character, no over-sugared alcohol levels - in short: the grape in the glass.
