The Line between Acting and Letting Go
Difficult compromises are the daily bread of winegrowers – including the Abrahams
“Working with nature means making compromises,
compromises between acting and letting go. This balancing act is our
daily challenge.” Since 2011, Marlies and Martin Abraham have been
walking along this narrow tightrope. Since that time, they have been
growing grapes themselves in the vineyards of the Abraham Estate Winery
in San Michele-Appiano, saying, “If we are successful with the balancing
act, then great wines emerge.”
For these “great wines”, we can also thank the variety of locations that the Abraham Estate Winery has.
Their vineyards are scattered between San Paolo, San Michele, and
Cornaiano at elevations from 450 to 700 meters. And because every
vineyard has its own special features, the Abrahams have seen to it that
only the most suited grape varieties grow in each one.
And
with the selection of them, they also go back to tradition. Thus the
vineyard above San Paolo has been planted for more than sixty years with
Pinot Blanc. The grapevines in Appiano also have deep roots. In the
hamlet of Weißhaus, the grandfather of today’s operator had already
planted Pinot Blanc as early as 1955. And the small-berried Schiava
grapes also grow between Appiano and Cornaiano on vines that are more
than fifty years old.
So time seems to play a particular role
at the Abraham Estate Winery. Because they take their time not only in
the vineyards, but also inside the winery. Particular attention is paid
to time: that, too, is part of the balancing act between acting and letting go.
