Familie Menzi

Between the Töss and Glatt rivers, a diverse mountain range stretches down to the Rhine, with vineyards on the slopes and numerous hamlets and farms. This is how the poet Jakob Bosshart describes the landscape in which the Nürensdorf municipal area is located. At the turn of the century, 69 owners cultivated wine on approximately 8 hectares of land on its sheltered southwestern slopes. The intensive labor involved, foreign wines, but also phylloxera and mildew gradually put an end to viticulture. Today, neat single-family homes stand on the prime locations where thousands of vines once grew. Only the street names still remind us of the former type of cultivation.

It is thanks to the initiative of Fritz Morf that vines have been thriving again on the southern slope of the Übrich at 540 meters above sea level since 1947. Over the past decades, the "Wigert" has been enlarged several times. Today it covers 120 acres.
