Parched + Side Piece Present: Bianka Schmitt (DB Schmitt)

How good is May?

There are few better things in life than racy German wine, so we're stoked to have Bianka Schmitt in the house for a night of pure bliss.

The Schmitt winery has been in the family for over 230 years with Bianka and Daniel working their 16 hectares for the last decade. They work in full biodynamics which they learned from legendary Alsace vigneron Patrick Meyer and are one of only 80 producers in Germany to be certified by Demeter.

Bianka is from Hungary, Daniel is German. They met in 2012 when she was cellar hand in his parent’s winery. Together they have taken over the family winery and are producing excellent natural wines made without additions. The Schmitts farm various plots in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Monsheim, and Kriegsheim, biodynamically.

We're long-time fans and the wines are a near constant feature on our shelves, it's time to give them space on yours too.

You know what to do...
