Weinbau Peter Zimmermann GmbH

Aargau wines from the Schenkenberg Valley

Our business

The historic Schenkenberg Valley, one of the most beautiful valleys at the southern foot of the Jura Mountains, is home to one of the oldest wine-growing regions in German-speaking Switzerland. It is a wonderful and extremely conveniently located recreational area. Winegrowing has a long tradition here and is firmly anchored in the landscape. Our 4-hectare winegrowing business is located in this wonderful environment, based in the winegrowing village of Oberflachs (municipality of Schinznach).

Our vineyards

In Oberflachs and the neighboring village of Thalheim, we cultivate our vines in the best locations according to the principles of natural cultivation. We promote biodiversity through targeted measures. We have long since stopped using soil herbicides and insecticides. Through optimized vine care, we use minimal plant protection. Targeted soil cultivation gives us a species-rich natural meadow in the vineyard. Our own high standards for natural cultivation guarantee quality both in the vineyard and in the selection of grapes.

Our own winery

We have been pressing our own varietal wines ourselves since the 1991 wine year, and in the fall of 2003, we were able to put our new winery into operation. Our goal is to produce high-quality wine in harmony with nature. Both modern and traditional techniques characterize the vinification and aging of our wines. Careful processing is already emphasized during the transport and pressing of the grapes. Each grape variety is considered individually and processed differently.
