 David Kind sells almost 80% of his production in the east of Sarine. Yet, this wine-grower lives quite a distance away from this linguistic border; he resides in Saint-Prex, a tiny lemanic village next to Morges. Perhaps the Germanic roots of the wine-grower, who grew up in Winterthur, explain his popularity outside French-speaking Switzerland.
What is more difficult to understand, however, is how his Vaud neighbours are not more interested in acquiring his property. Since taking over the business ten years ago, David Kind has thoroughly modified the stock of vines. Monocultures of Chasselas and Gamay have made room for plots of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamaret and Garanoir. Apart from the Merlot, the Dornfelder, the Dunkelfelder and the Cabernet Franc, planted this year. This diversity of varieties enables him to offer his customers a wide range of new wines. Even though all merit sampling, his red collection, and the Pinot Gris, deserve a special mention.
