Built on the value of respect for the environment, Brian and Alicia Moeller found fulfillment in planting and nurturing 11 varieties of grapevines, using biodynamic techniques, over the past 7 years. Their success in cultivating quality fruit inspired them to take it full circle, and embrace the challenge of utilizing eco-friendly practices in turning their grapes into wine. Though more labor-intensive, the Moellers endorse the philosophy that wine is made on the vine , and therefore their efforts result in better quality wine. The culmination of their experiences led to the opening of Briali Vineyards and Winery, located on the gently rolling hills of Country Meadows Golf Course in Fremont, Indiana.
