Further Useful Info: The Idea behind the wine is to offer something uncomplicated and refreshing – an introduction to natural wine. The litre bottle is to say that it is a bottle for friends and for the table. Something to be enjoyed rather than analysed.
Frei.Körper.Kultur is about re-working the idea of tradition. Freikorperkultur is normally written as one word. This is separated on the bottle to three. Frei – be free (be brave to be free), Korper – body (we are all the same kind) and Kultur – culture (cultivate your nature). In essence, natural wine is just pure wine – nothing fancy or clever - and that wine is individual because the people behind it are individuals.
We are Bianka and Daniel Schmitt, two winemakers from Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Rheinhessen. Our passion started in 2012 and since that we have grown with our tasks, experience and knowledge. Our senses get sharper year to year, which supports our intuitive thinking and creativity at the same time. Most important thing is to have a goal and your path is self-determined. Every farmer creates his own rules. We follow nature´s guides and bureaucracy in our modern life. (: But the frames of the pictures we create through experience, love and with humility.
