Meet the Orb brothers, Jan and Jens—champions of both tradition and innovation in winemaking. Their journey is steeped in heritage, inspired by their mother Claudia’s revival of the family’s historic 2,500-square-metre terraced garden. Although they studied at different viticultural colleges, their shared vision unites them in shaping a new era of winemaking.

Since taking over in 2019, Jan and Jens have found the perfect balance between honouring their parents' loyal clientele and spearheading a "wine think tank" that brings creative, modern approaches to life.
