Our Mission
At Living Wines, we specialise in natural, organic and biodynamic wines from both classic and emerging regions across Europe. Our name says it all: we curate wines of character that express their origin with absolute authenticity.
We offer you a selection of over 2,500 carefully chosen wines from Europe’s classic wine-growing regions. Alongside France, Spain and Italy, our focus lies on organic wines from Germany as well as Champagne from biodynamic production. Beyond the classics, we also present exceptional wines from Hungary and Portugal.
Our Range
Our collection comprises over 2,500 carefully selected wines from more than 150 producers across Europe’s most important wine regions. It includes both classic estates and avant-garde makers, spanning three main categories:
Natural Wines: Vinified with minimal intervention, using spontaneous fermentation and no or minimal sulphur additions. With protagonists such as Matassa, Occhipinti and I Vigneri di Salvo Foti, we represent the winemakers who define the natural wine movement. These wines often display unusual aromatic profiles and outstanding terroir transparency.
Organic Wines: Made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. With producers such as Vietti, Emidio Pepe, Le Chiuse and Roagna, we offer icons of organic winemaking. At the same time, we champion emerging talents like Tenuta di Carleone. Organic farming promotes soil health and results in more balanced wines with a more precise expression of fruit.
Biodynamic Wines: Grown according to biodynamic principles. From Kühling-Gillot and Peter Jakob Kühn in Germany, via Zind-Humbrecht and A. et P. de Villaine in France, to Foradori in Italy – our portfolio encompasses the pinnacle of biodynamic excellence. Attention to cosmic rhythms and the use of specific preparations create a self-regulating ecosystem in the vineyard. These wines are distinguished by their remarkable vitality and longevity.
We are particularly proud of our extensive selection of organic Champagnes from houses such as Larmandier-Bernier, De Sousa and Georges Laval – producers who demonstrate that organic and biodynamic methods can achieve outstanding results even in this demanding region.
Our Approach
We work with producers whose philosophy we share: respect for nature, artisanal production and authenticity. From small family-run estates to renowned estates – what matters most is an uncompromising commitment to quality.
Most of our wines come from winemakers who work with old indigenous grape varieties, combining traditional methods with contemporary knowledge.
Who we work for
For you! Our offering is aimed at discerning wine lovers who are ready to look beyond the obvious, at people who view wine not merely as a source of pleasure, but as a cultural asset, and at those who have the courage to discover wines off the beaten track.
More than just commerce
In addition to distributing excellent wines, we see it as our responsibility to share knowledge. Through detailed product descriptions, regular online tastings, magazine articles and winemaker portraits, we enable our customers to make well-informed decisions.
In times of climate change, we also actively support winemakers who experiment with innovative, sustainable methods – because the future of wine depends on it.
At Living Wines, you will find no mass-produced goods, but characterful wines with soul and history – carefully selected by people who love and understand wine.
