In this article, we’ll take a closer look at Roman Rutishauser’s flagship wines, their commitment to sustainability and heritage protection, and their innovative approach to customer engagement and community building through their new partnership with vinID.

Sélection Famille: The Top Three Wines

One of Roman Rutishauser’s most notable offerings is Sélection Famille, which includes a handpicked Kerner, a richly flavored Sauvignon Blanc, and a Pinot Noir from old vines. 

Each bottle in this limited edition collection is equipped with vinID tags, which connect the physical bottle to the digital realm. This allows Roman Rutishauser to tell the story of their wine’s sustainability and provide a unique customer experience, all while authenticating their bottles with the tamper-proof seal. 

Commitment to Sustainability

What sets Roman Rutishauser apart is their use of PIWI varieties, which are resistant to fungal diseases and require fewer pesticides. They are pioneers in this field, using these varieties to create unique and flavorful wines that are better for the environment. 

Roman Rutishauser is also a member of the FAIR N’GREEN organization, which promotes sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in winemaking. With the integration of vinID tags, the winery is able to transparently tell their story of sustainability that customers can easily access by tapping the bottle’s tag with their phone.

A New Wine Experience for Customers

One of the most exciting features Roman Rutishauser offers through the vinID technology is the digital wine cellar and tasting journal, which allows customers to keep track of their favorite wines, tasting notes, and food pairings. Customers also receive push notifications for food pairing suggestions and degustation updates, making the wine experience more interactive and engaging.

Storytelling is an essential aspect of the Roman Rutishauser wine experience. The winery believes that wine is more than just a beverage; it is a symbol of culture and history. Through the digital wine bottles, they share the story behind each wine, connecting customers to the history and tradition behind each bottle.

Roman Rutishauser also offers special experiences and promotions for their most loyal customers available through the digital twin of the bottle.
