His focus is on Mosel, Spanish wines—especially fortified wines—and old autochthonous grape varieties. Now transitioning into the wine trade, he is also looking to introduce fine Hungarian wines to the German market. A passionate treasure hunter in the world of wine, he is constantly traveling across Europe, from Burgundy to Madrid, exploring unique wine events and discovering rare bottles.
