At the end of the long ascent, in Ungstein not far from Bad Dürkheim, Nestled amidst the Palatinate mountain range lies the Isegrim winery, which couldn't be more picturesque. This family-run winery has been cultivated according to Bioland guidelines since 1979, making it one of the first – a rather daring and unconventional step for the time.

Winemaker Mira Wolf is now continuing the family tradition, but without being traditional, because “tradition is the natural enemy of progress.” With great gratitude for the robust, healthy vines that have always been organically grown, Mira is forging new and innovative paths on her vibrant farm, always in harmony with nature.

Sheep, turkeys, and chickens roam among the vines, and pumpkins and cabbages grow here and there. Together with Sören, she incorporates agricultural principles of permaculture, wetlands, and animal husbandry into the farm's practices and, in addition to classics like Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris, is not afraid to explore new, fungus-resistant grape varieties (Piwis).

Mira likes to let her grapes "run free" in the cellar, foregoing additives, fining agents, and cultivated yeasts. Since Mira spent part of her winemaking apprenticeship in France and developed a passion for terroir wines there, we created a kind of "field blend" together with her. Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Gewürztraminer grapes from a single vineyard are processed and pressed together.
