Mrs Hella Nohl Mrs Hella Nohl
Unlike the palettes of mainstream artists that hold the various shades and hues of paints, Hella Nohl's palette holds the various swirls of ink and wine. Stumbling onto the art of wine while on an expedition in Italy, she has since embarked on a journey of research and discovery of this different stroke, studying the different properties and effects of wines. Her paintings' surfaces are like wine, constantly changing and developing. With a focus on the vine itself, she has created a series of pieces, which she fondly names "Vine Writings". As the artist creates her paintings, the combination of both wine and ink, develop progressively into their own forms, lending their own rhythm and character to her art.

Mr Valentin Latschen Mr Valentin Latschen
While nature has created the bounty of bejewelled fruits, Valentin Latschen has immortalised them forever. King and master of distillation, Latschen was one of the first to bring such grace and beauty to the art of distilling. The pedant to intricacies and traditions, he still personally handpicks each pear that is destined to reach its olympus in glass. Each end product of Pfau is an expression of pure perfection, an epitome of chaste pleasure.
