Greek Bubbles
The upcoming wine region of Amyntaio in the far north of Greece attracted Dutch newcomers Laurens (half-Greek) and Annette Hartman to make high-quality sparkling wines, sustainably. It was not long before people started to pay attention to Karanika’s world-class sparkling wines.

Photos create visual journals of the wine world and its people. They are an abstraction from real life, yet the images look real. They recall and document foregone situations. That’s why they are a unique source of reflection & remembrance. View my growing collection of photographs from wine cellars to portraits to vinescapes.
After the #vdpwein borse in Mainz travelled back along the winding river of the Mosel (aka Moselle) where Riesling is king. It is the combination of history, geology, climate and geography (some very steep vineyards) that makes the Mosel wine region unique. #wine #vineyards #mosel #moselle #riesling

There are only a few places more renowned than the hill of Corton in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. We decided to spend a late afternoon on this near legendary hill with its almost 1400 years of continuous viniculture. We found people putting up the famous smudge pots to protect the vines from frost as vineyard temperatures were expected to plunge. #wine #winery #vineyards #burgundy #vines #miriammillstack

An encounter between Guido Berlucchi and Franco Ziliani led in 1961 to the creation of the first ever Franciacorta wine. “what if we make sparkling wine like the French do?

Late afternoon in Burgenland, Austria. Although many wine lovers associate Burgenland with the Blaufränkisch grapes which produce red wines with a fine minerality and elegance, there are also complex white wines and unique sweet wines, like Ruster Ausbruch. #wine #winelover #winelovers #vineyards #Burgenland

Andi Kollwentz's Blaufränkisch & Chardonnay’s make him one the best producers in Austria and he manages to go one step further with the Taschler, Gloria & Steinzeiler wines. In addition to the meticulous viticultural work, the success of the Kollwentz family is also due to their excellent 22 hectares of vineyards on the southern slopes of the Leitha Mountains. Vineyards with names such as Steinzeiler, Taschle, Gloria, Steinmühle, Dürr, Point and Setz are among the oldest and best in Leitha. Precise winemaking and a very fine tannin structure in case of Blaufrankisch do the rest. Really enjoyed it.

Passionate winemaker and professor of oenology at the University of La Rioja Juan Carlos Sancha’s wine-making philosophy is based on organic practices and minimal intervention in all stages of the process. Working like this allows Juan Carlos to preserve the purity and clearness of the carefully selected white grapes Garnacha, Viura, Malvasia and Torrontés for his Cerro la Isa white from a single, recognised (since 2017) and unique “Viñedo Singular” vineyard. Together with his university colleague Fernando Martinez Juan Carlos Sancha (re) discovered vines of minority varieties such as Tempranillo Blanco, Maturana Tinta and Maturana Blanca, rescued them from extinction, and helped to develop them as one of the varieties in Rioja. Juan Carlos Sancha is the only winemaker who produces both a red and a white Viñedo Singular wine.

Today we visited the well travelled winemaker Leo Erazo of Los Vinateros Bravos, with whom we tasted a whole range of pure, terroir driven wines made in the Itata/Ñuble wine region in the South of Chile between the Andes Mountains, the Central Valley and the Cordillera de la Costa. An abundant terroir and old vines of Moscatel de Alejandría, Pais and Cinsault define the Itata/ Ñuble wines. We were invited by #ProChile_nuble to discover this lesser known wine region. One thing we can say after our first day of discovery: the wines in Itata maybe less famous than wines from Northern Chile, but they ooze the terroir they are made in. In Itata/ Nuble they produce wines with their own uniqueness and identity, wines the local winemakers should be proud of. #prochile #wine #winetasting #vinoterosbravos #leoerasobrio #winesitata #winesofchile winesofNuble
