Natural Wine

Seminar and tasting in German
Natural Wine
Between wine error and cult drink
with Sascha Rimkus

A new dimension or much ado about nothing? Nothing in the wine world is as controversial as so-called natural wines. There is no clear definition and therefore a lot of confusion. Even winegrowers and wine journalists don't always understand the same thing by it. No intervention during fermentation, no enzymes, no cultured yeasts, no clarification and filtration, little or no sulphur? All important but hotly disputed criteria.

The taste and even appearance of these wines differ so significantly from conventionally produced wines that critics generally speak of wine faults. All nonsense! As always, there are good and bad wines. There are also charlatans and underachievers hiding behind the label. But that doesn't make the good representatives any less interesting, quite the opposite.

We taste very exciting but different wines from Austria, France and Italy.

Sascha Rimkus

Born on the North Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein, little Sascha didn't exactly grow up with wine. His special passion for the subject only came about when he crossed the Elbe to the south and made his first trips to wine regions. Seeing how wine is made and then drinking it locally in dimly lit wine taverns was an awakening! The subject has stayed with him to this day. He has worked his way through countless wine lists and shelves around the world and spent many years in restaurants and bars. Today, he is one of the operators of Goldhahn and Sampson, where he continues to build a steadily growing wine department.
