From the very beginning, Stephan was fascinated by the versatility and development opportunities at Balthasar Ress: "There is an open ear for every suggestion and every suggestion for improvement." Stephan exudes a calmness and sovereignty that is totally important in the wine estate's busy day-to-day work.
