Hoch Family

Christoph Hoch is the mastermind behind some of Europe’s most thought-provoking sparkling wines. Early in his life he discovered that Hollenberg (his home village) was a geological anomaly within the majority of Austria’s terroir, and that the soil types here were incredibly similar to the chalky conglomerate soils found in the famed Côte de Blanc in Champagne. This sparked an enthusiastic ambition to make sparkling wines that could rival some of the greatest names in the business. Fast-forward to today, Hoch is considered a rising star across the globe.
