Joachim Skoff is an Austrian winemaker. He is the 5th generation of the Skoff family who is growing wines. After his winemaking education at the “HBLA Klosterneuburg” he was studying International Business Administration and did a CEMS master degree in the International Management. He studied in Vienna, Hong Kong and Barcelona. Furthermore, he attended summer universities in USA and Vietnam. After he had finished all his studies he did a 6 month long round the world trip, where he got to know his Fiancee in New Zealand.
Joachim has already had a passion for wine when he was a child and learned the quality philosophy from little on.Beside the long lasting experience in the wine estate of his parents, Joachim has also worked as winemaker assistant in New Zealand, Chile and South Africa. This widened his view for international wines and established the basis of the current concept of INTERROIR.
Joachim believes that great wines are born in the head of the winemaker, who selects in a second step the appropriate terroir to put his idea into reality. He is especially fascinated by the terroir driven diversity of international wines.
