The Ploder-Rosenberg family describes their philosophy as following: "We are winegrowers: our job is to observe and guide nature. Nature provides us with a rhythm. It teaches us how to deal with chaos and order. It also provides us with a living example of synergy.
Everything reacts. Everything is closely interconnected. Humans are part of this whole and exert a significant influence upon it. This is our story. It is a story of roots, responsibility, trust and our living wines. After all, the bottles contain living wines. They have come to life and will remain living for a long time to come."
