Portraits and interviews with the world's finest natural wine producers — farmers and winemakers who work in harmony with terroir, minimal intervention, and a deep respect for the land.
Domaine Kuentz-Bas
A historic Alsace house with roots in 1795, revived under vigneron Jean-Baptiste Adam since 2004 with a shift to organic and biodynamic farming.
La Grange de l'Oncle Charles
Jérôme François and Morgane Stoquert farm 5 biodynamic hectares across eight Alsace villages with draft horses and sheep, producing field-blend wines of rare complexity in tiny quantities.

Du Vin Aux Liens
A Breton-born negociant working between Alsace and Lorraine, Vanessa Letort buys grapes only from organic and biodynamic growers and vinifies them with nothing added.

One of Alsace's largest family-owned estates, the Cattins have grown vines in Voegtlinshoffen for twelve generations and built a reputation for Cremant and Grand Cru wines.
Domaine Gross
In the medieval village of Gueberschwihr, four generations of the Gross family have moved from conventional Alsace farming to biodynamics and bold, unsulfured orange wines.

Yves Amberg has farmed certified organic Alsace vineyards since 2001, producing terroir-driven skin-contact and varietal wines from Epfig.
