ROLL Wine Vineyards (German: Weingut)

Christianity and the needs of religious services ensured the cultivation of the vines throughout the Middle Ages. A number of ROLL families have had a long viticulture history in Dittelsheim, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany. A ROLLE brand is produced in Switzerland. "ROLL RANCH", north of Ojai, California, USA, produces grapes for a number of wineries.

History of the Dittelsheim ROLL family:
Translated from genealogist Amandus Henry ROLL's records.
A number of ROLL families living in Dittelsheim, Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany have their origins in Monzernheim, a small village 2 miles south. The name "ROLL" first appears in the Dittelsheim civil registry office in 1804. A marriage certificate of the 17th "Florial" of the 12th year of the Republic (May 17th, 1804) shows the marriage between Christian ROLL, born 1777 in Monzernheim, and Charlotte SCHERER, born 1784 in Dittelsheim. Christian was in the "cooper" (German - "Kuefer") profession where he made and repaired wooden barrels, containers, and jars. His in-laws were master coopers.
Three sons sprang from this marriage. All of them worked as coopers and wine traders. They were the root founders of three cooper and wine trading families. Many members of these families worked in the profession over the years.
The Dittelsheim winery trade continues today with the great great grandchildren of Christian ROLL; stemming from two family branches, the descendants of Christian's two sons, Jakob Amandus and Heinrich ROLL. Christian's father, Johann Caspar, born April 21, 1734, was a cooper practitioner in Mozernheim. It is lost to history if Christian's grandfather, Melchior, was a cooper, as no documents mention his occupation, but his death certificate indicated he performed court judge duties.

• Mont sur ROLLE
  The ROVERNAZ Mont-sur-Rolle/Mont-sur-Rolle "La Montoise" wine is made by Cave de La Côte - Uvavins, a vine-growers cooperative in the La Côte area (between Lausanne and Geneva, Vaud, Switzerland, along Lake Léman/Geneva), with about 450 members. In Mont-sur-Rolle, 6 vine-growers deliver their grapes or their wines, which come from very well located vineyards. This wine is made with the traditional chasselas-grape, which is proven to exist in the region for more than 1,000 years. The grape that most represents the unique character of Swiss viticulture is the Chasselas. It represents 40 percent of all Swiss wine grapes. One nice feature of Chasselas is that it does not take to oak-aging and produces a light and delicate wine.
  Rovernaz Mont sur Rolle is aged to enjoy within two years with suitable tasting temperature of 12°C. Oenologist's white wine description:
  Color: yellow, with grey and green shimmer
  Bouquet: smell of flowers and fruits, with evoque lime-blossom, vine flower and white peach.
  Palate: smooth, fruity, light taste of toffy, of coffee, with a pinch of mineral flavor. Full and complete wine.
  Serve with: as aperitif, with hors d'oeuvre, cheese dishes, with assorted cooked pork meats, all the fishes, white meat, and all kinds of cheeses.
  
  Other Swiss Chasselas Mont-sur-Rolle brands include:
  Mont-sur-Rolle "Tournefeuille" by J. & P. Testuz SA and
  
  Mont-sur-Rolle AOC "Domaine de Autecour" Grand Cru by Obrist Sa Vevey
  
  
  Switzerland has about 37,000 acres (15,000 hectares), of vineyards (about the size of Alsace, France and about one-third that of Austria). The Swiss consume 42 liters of wine per capita, and they import two-thirds of what they drink. They export, mainly to Germany, only 1 percent of total production.
  The Swiss state of Vaud can be divided into four main wine-growing areas. La Côte lies along the west shore of Lake Geneva, with Féchy and Mont-sur-Rolle in the centre, and appellations such as Vinzel, Perroy, and Aubonne to either side. Vaud is the second largest wine-producing region of Switzerland. Bounded by the Jura to the West and the Alps to the East, the canton of Vaud produces a quarter of Swiss wines. Vaud's long tradition of winemaking dates back to the Dézaley vineyards of medieval Cistercian monks.
  Mont-sur-Rolle community (1,800 inhabitants), Vaud canton (state), Switzerland. View of the Mont-sur-Rolle vineyards in the distance seen from Lake Leman (aka Lake Geneva) and with the beautiful lakeside Château of Rolle seen in the foreground. The area has a great number of large and beautiful wine cellars owned by private vine growers.

  OJAI and other vineyards grow their grapes on "Roll Ranch" located beneath the dramatic face of California's Topa Topa Mountain in upper Ojai-a hanging valley, 700 feet above Ojai valley proper. Carl ROLL is the commercial/industrial land developer of ROLL Ranch. Address: P O Box 879, Chula Vista, CA 92012 Phone: (619) 479-5007 Fax: (619) 479-1212.
  
  Adam and Helen TOLMACH are the owners of The Ojai Vineyard at Roll Ranch, which supplies their small winery with Viognier, a rare white Rhone Valley varietal that is gaining popularity in California. The Roll Ranch vineyard is also home to the winery's Syrah, a highly acclaimed northern Rhone red grape that produces the world's great Cote Roties and Hermitage wines. Producing handmade wines since 1983 at their Oak View winery, The Ojai Vineyard works closely with over a dozen different vineyards up and down the Central Coast (such as Bien Nacido, Roll Ranch, Thompson and Talley-Rincon) and produces wines from chardonnay, grenache, mourvedre, pinot noir, roussane, sauvignon blanc, syrah, and viognier. Current production (2002) is around 6,000 cases. The wine has a pale straw color, with lovely floral-honey aromas; big and full flavor, oak framing luscious Viognier fruit. Outstanding, and at a reported $17 retail, a decent value by the pricey standard of trendy Viogniers.
  In 1992, Suzanne ROLL opened her "Suzanne's Cuisine" restaurant at 502 West Ojai Avenue in Ojai, California. The label of the Ojai Vineyard Syrah from grapes of Suzanne's vineyard comes from Roll Ranch. She is of Italian-American descent.
