Christine, born in 1996, grew up in an area in Germany that has never seen vines, but rather lots of breweries. Her family, roofers for generations, wanted her to become “something easy, working in an office”. But her heart was lusting for vineyards and cellar work, even before she even had her first sip of wine. Watching too many documentaries about wineries might have had an influence on that. She accomplished her apprenticeship as a winemaker close to Würzburg, Franconia, with lots of Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Halbtrocken or lieblich, no problem. After her education, she new she wanted to work in organic farming and winemaking and by chance, she applied for an internship at Thomas Niedermayr. Starting at the company in August 2018, she was supposed to be a helping hand for the harvest. 3 years later, she has never left.
