Producer : | The Mathier family, known today, immigrated from Valais to Salgesch in the 14th century from Marseille. A good 500 years later, Albert Mathier was born as the second of nine children in the now widely ramified family. During the Great Depression, the 1920s, he tried to defy the recession and planted various slopes with vines. With this, Albert Mathier set the Foundation stone for the wine history of Mathiers and the village of Salgesch as one of the most famous wine villages in Switzerland. Albert Mathier & Sons has been a family business for over 80 years, dedicated to enjoyment and tradition. Fadri and Martin Mathier stand in the vines and in the cellar, Peter Mathier looks after the customers and Amédée Mathier manages the business. |
