There’s hardly a natural wine fan who doesn’t know the Schmitt wines with their iconic blue labels. The couple from Rheinhessen now among the world’s most prominent natural wine producers. It all started quite simply: Just under 12 years ago, Bianka and Daniel fell in love with each other—and together, with natural wine. Bianka designed a label intended for 500 bottles of a joint wine project. A good decade later, this label adorns over 100,000 bottles every year. And we understand the hype: The Demeter-certified wines taste incomparably pure, elegant, and fresh.

Rheinhessen, Germany

Nestled between the Rheingau and the Nahe lies a little gem called Rheinhessen. Long maligned as the source of sweet wine “sins” like Liebfraumilch and Gutes Domtal, this long-underestimated wine-growing region has opened up a whole new world over the past decade. There, innovation and a shift in thinking are the order of the day. Whether it’s Marto and Alanna in Flonheim or Bianka & Daniel Schmitt in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, the Rheinhessen speak for themselves—no question about it!
