Jasmin Swan of Katla Wines, is a new negociant from the “Alt Mosel", a term she coined for the new faces making wines with diverse approaches in the Mosel Valley. Today, I interview Jas about her journey from sommelier in Iceland to winemaker in Germany. Specifically, we chat about the use of PIWI’s as part of sustainable agriculture.
PIWIs are hybrids-varieties made by crossing 2 different Vitis species-- bred specifically for their fungus resistant capabilities. This means that they require less spraying, therefore less costs, less tractor emissions, and less soil compaction. Finally, Jas and I talk about the market reception of PIWIs and her future projects.
