Natural Wine Producers: Working With Nature
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.
Strohmeier
Franz and Christine Strohmeier have farmed their steep West Styrian slopes without compromise since 1997, crafting zero-additive wines from Blauer Wildbacher and native varieties at the edge of the Alps.
Meinklang
On the lowest land in Austria, the Michlits family runs Angus cattle, ancient grains, and vines together as one living Demeter farm spanning the Hungarian border.
Andreas Ziniel
Trained across South Africa, Germany and Switzerland, 'Zini' farms 15 hectares near the Zicksee, making fresh, low-intervention reds and whites with short macerations.
Christian Tschida
An Austrian natural-wine star, Christian Tschida makes zero-sulfur, unmanipulated wines by Lake Neusiedl and calls himself a tuner, not a winemaker.
