About the Winery
Lüthi Weinbau Männedorf is a family business that has been cultivating 2 ha of vineyards for around 27 years in the Stäfa top sites Ueriker Risi, Sternenhalde and Lattenberg as well as at Püntacher. The small cultivated area allows every step of the work, from the vineyard to the cellar, to be carried out with careful manual labor. The cultivation is carried out in harmony with nature according to the guidelines of integrated production. The wines produced are white wine, rosé and red wine AOC Zürichsee as well as a sparkling wine (Blanc de Noirs) made by the traditional champagne method with 24 months of bottle fermentation. The varieties grown and processed include Pinot Noir, Räuschling, Pinot Gris and Scheurebe. Orders can be placed by telephone or e-mail; pickup by prior arrangement or delivery are possible. The winery is located in Männedorf on Lake Zurich in Switzerland.
