About

Utzinger Wines is a certified organic estate on the western bank of the Tamar River at Legana, founded in 2015 by a Swiss winemaker whose philosophy is that wines are "grown, not made." The vineyard — planted from 2018 at an intensive 6,500 vines per hectare — focuses on five clones of Pinot Noir, six clones of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah, all farmed with minimal intervention and no synthetics. A quarter of the property is set aside for native grassland and plantings, supporting local wildlife alongside the vines. Tastings are available by appointment.
