Bianka und Daniel Schmitt Freiheit Riesling

In a land of tidy vineyards and predictable wines, Bianka and Daniel Schmitt are the wild ones. Fourth-generation vintners, biodynamic pioneers, and certified disruptors (Demeter doesn’t hand those seals out like candy), they’ve turned their 16 hectares in Flörsheim-Dalsheim into a living manifesto—no shortcuts, no sulfur, no apologies.

This is Riesling unchained. The grapes? Hand-picked with the precision of a jewel thief. The juice? Left to its own devices in barrel, fermenting with the untamed energy of a storm rolling over the Rheinhessen hills. The result? A wine that pulses with life—funky, electric, and gloriously unfiltered.

Take a sip and feel it dance across your tongue, a texture so alive it’s almost mischievous. The first hit is pineapple, bright and sun-struck, then comes the rush—gooseberries with their green snap, golden pears dripping juice, a flicker of wet stone. It’s deep but never heavy, balanced on a tightrope of acid that crackles like static.

This is the bottle you grab when you’re done playing it safe. Pair it with spicy Thai takeout, a wheel of ripe Munster, or the thrill of breaking your own rules. Drink it cold, drink it loud.

Unfiltered. Unfettered. Unforgettable.
