Behind the Label: Family Estates of Switzerland
What it really means to inherit a vineyard and a name.
Inheriting an estate sounds like a gift until you learn what comes with it: debt, expectation, and a community that remembers every vintage your father made. The next generation has to honour the past while quietly modernising everything.
Three young winemakers describe the awkward, affectionate negotiation of taking over from a parent who is still, technically, in the cellar every day.
