GERHARD REISACHER, Winemaker & Proprietor
Gerhard Reisacher, Winemaker and Proprietor, has history on his side. As an eighth-generation winemaker from Austria, Gerhard grew up in vineyards and worked by his father Karl's side, gaining a strong interest and passion for viticulture and winemaking. Soon, Gerhard was studying at Austria's premier winemaking college, graduating with four degrees, including winemaking and viticulture.
Gerhard became intrigued by the potential of the Napa Valley after tasting countless California wines, recognizing they were completely unlike their European counterparts. That is all it took to convince Gerhard to pack his bags and move to California.
Gerhard's dream to establish his own wine brand ultimately culminated in Delectus Winery, which he started with his wife Linda in 1995. Gerhard's winemaking ability has proven very rewarding for the Reisacher Family and wine enthusiasts. Many experts, including Wine Spectator, have given Delectus wines high praise. When Gerhard is not in the cellar reviewing the progress of their next releases, he can be found on the winery's new property clearing brush or scouting new vineyard sites.
