Fermentation and Élevage: Spontaneous fermentation in fuder; kept on the lees for 48 months then another 24 months in bottle before the wine was released.
Farming: Practicing Organic
Fio is Portuguese word for ‘wire’ or ‘thread’ and this wine is the connection, bringing the practice and the philosophy of the winery together in its fullest form. Marco says, “In 2012 we visited Ganevat, and he showed us a wine ten years on the lees and without any disturbance. It was a perfect wine. He is just bottling wines when they are ready.” This is a Jura style Mosel wine with low PH soils, like in the Jura, and aging in the barrel for a long time. Minimum of two years on the lees and sometimes three or four years before racking and is kept topped up. Aged in bottle for a minimum of two years before release.

A Trip to Germany
In July I went to Germany for the first time, spending almost the entire trip in the Mosel – seeing places I’ve only read about, connecting familiar faces to their home turf and, celebrating 10 years of inspired work by importer vom Boden.
With a swath of German new arrivals landing, too, it felt like a good time to reflect on the 2022 vintage, share some takeaways from the trip and share details on our next in-person event. - Chris
