The Metz family has been growing vines around the village of Epfig, but the family’s main focus until 1920/25 was agriculture.
Marcellin Metz began growing vines on land of the neighbouring village of Itterswiller in 1930, and in 1936 he decided to concentrate on producing grapes for wine.
Marcellin passed on his knowledge to his 2 sons and in 1966 Gérard and René decided to start bottling and marketing their own wines.
