About the Wine

 

Lafken produces limited quantities of hand-crafted wines, with the entire family participating in the process from start to finish. They strongly believe that winemaking must be clean and in harmony with the environment. The identity of Lafken wines is a result of premium grapes, the friendly management of their organic vineyard, and personal winemaking – which takes place in a small garage, combining both traditional methods and modern technology.
