Philosophy

To talk about my wine philosophy it is very important to understand my childhood.

I grew up in the '90s in the northeast of Hamburg. I remember I bought fresh milk from the local farm. The farm was only 15 minutes away from our house. Honestly, I call myself lucky to have had nature, the forests, biodiversity and agriculture as close to where I grew up. On the other hand, the city was always pulsing nearby and helped me to understand and shape my values. I believe the base of agriculture is biodiversity. Healthy soils, birds, insects, animals, flowers and strong vines with deep roots in the earth.

Ethically seen biodynamic philosophy of agriculture and life felt right and natural to what I have studied in natural science in school and university. Treating the environment with the highest respect to ensure a potent and strong ecosystem is only beneficial for the planet and for all living creatures.

To be clear: making wine starts with the smallest interactions in the vineyards in the most natural way possible and ends with spontaneous fermentation in the cellar. For me making wine means showing terroir in its purest form and letting the vine speak for itself. My approach is to support the grape without changing its character.
