Their story

Konrad Pixner grew up in the German-speaking mountains of South Tyrol. After a master's in viticulture and oenology across France, Portugal and South Africa, a doctorate at Geisenheim and a stint making wine in the Italian Alps, he settled in the Terrasses du Larzac in 2018 and built his estate from scratch. He found the place on hikes, where old bush vines were hiding in the scrub, and named the domaine after his own accent, which nobody could ever place.

He works about 15 hectares of clay-limestone terraces largely alone, between scrubland and forest, harvesting by hand. Every plot is vinified separately with native yeasts and nothing added, because for him the wine is made in the vineyard. One cuvée is even called Cuvée Elliot.
