About us

ORVINUM AG is a young firm that has set its goal in introducing specially mature and enjoyable wines of wonderful provenances to a wide public of wine lovers. Jürg Richter, founder and business manager, has over 25 years of experience as specialist and “degusteur”, specially for wines from Bordeaux and Sauternes. Visit his website www.sauternes.ch where you will find over a thousand tasting (degustation) notes about Sauternes.

His passion probably goes back to the 18th century when his great- great- great grandfather was co-owner of one of the largest wine merchant houses of the time – regretfully no bottles are left over from that time.

With Norman Weissbach we have a further associate, a very experienced and well versed sommelier as head of sales. He, also, has many years of experience in the trade and degustation of wines that prove to be invaluable in his present capacity.
