Domäne Roland Chan is the realisation of a dream of Roland Müksch and his family in 2017 – the creation of a boutique winery featuring the dry wall terraces in the heart of the Wachau. The terraces are toiled manually with deep respect for nature. The wines are a pure expression of the cultural heritage landscape. Since 2019 member of the Vinea Wachau.
In 2021 Domäne Roland Chan is complete with our home in Wösendorf, a winery in Sankt Michael and over 2 hectares vineyards in our 4 distinct sites of: Achleiten, Klaus, Bach and Höll
Domäne Roland Chan is guardian and custodian of vineyards in the majestic Ried Achleiten, the lofty Ried Klaus, the fiery Ried Höll and the mineral Ried Bach.
At Domäne Roland Chan we have always taken an approach that deeply respects nature. We are restoring and maintaining old vineyards and maintain and construct the traditional dry walls for our terraces, providing a natural habitat for local fauna and flora. We subscribe to the local initiative of the use of pheromone traps to avoid certain pesticides. We use the “Wachau mixture”, a specially developed combination of grasses and plants, that enriches the environment for insects whilst providing natural fertiliser for the vines. We do not use herbicide and condemn this practice as unnecessary and highly damaging to the ecosystem, but manually cut the grass between the vines. We hang up reflective bird deterrents and use sheep wool to deter deer. The use of the Leova Smart posts in our vineyards – remote online weather stations and fungal pressure measurement systems – enables us to use a measured approach for our spraying regime.
Once maybe a fluke, but getting stellar ratings in the more challenging 2022 vintage is confirmation of the quality of our terroir: JS 96,95,95,94,94,93,93,91
The Certification of Sustainable Austria is another step for Domäne Roland Chan to create the best the Wachau can give us in harmony with nature.
