Ep. 28. / Roterfaden: a biodynamic loveproject for spirited wines
Listen now
Description
This episode features the Roterfaden winery, and of course, the lovely couple behind its energetic wines. We spent a wonderful morning with Olympia and Hannes looking over their terraced vineyards and a fairy-tale-like valley North-West of Stuttgart, Germany, on the 31st of May. They are biodynamically cultivating three majestic grape varieties: Lemberger, Pinot Noir and Riesling, which we also tasted during the recording together. Their approach to farming and winemaking is honest, minimalistic and magical. You can hear a deep and thoughtful conversation about not just the wine world, but life in general. That was one of the most fabulous settings I’ve ever had the fortune to experience, and I hope some of those vibes could come through your speakers as well.You can also watch an almost 30 minutes clip from the podcast on the Wine Ghosts Youtube channel or on the Wine Ghosts Instagram page. But now, please enjoy a spontaneously started talk with 2 excellent winemakers. Guests: Olypia Samara & Hannes Hoffmann | Roterfaden Winery | Vaihingen an der EnzWine Ghosts' Channels (Instagram, Podcast etc.): https://linktr.ee/wineghosts Wine Ghosts' E-Mail: [email protected]
