Our Mission
At Living Wines, we specialise in natural, organic and biodynamic wines from the classic and emerging regions of Europe. Our name is our mission: we stock wines with character that express their origins authentically.
We offer you a selection of over 2000 carefully chosen wines from Europe’s classic wine-growing regions. In addition to France, Spain and Italy, our focus is on organic wines from Germany as well as Champagne from biodynamic production. Beyond the classics, we offer you special wines from Hungary and Portugal.
Our Range
Our collection comprises over 2,500 carefully selected wines from more than 150 producers across Europe’s leading wine regions. You’ll find both classic estates and avant-garde producers, covering three main categories:
Natural wines: Vinified with minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation and little to no added sulphites. With protagonists such as Matassa, Occhipinti and I Vigneri di Salvo Foti, we represent those winemakers who define the natural wine movement. These wines often display unusual aromatic profiles and outstanding terroir transparency.
Organic wines: From grapes grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. With producers such as Vietti, Emidio Pepe, Le Chiuse and Roagna, we feature icons of organic winemaking. At the same time, we discover rising talents like Tenuta di Carleone. Organic viticulture promotes soil health and results in more balanced wines with more precise fruit expression.
Biodynamic wines: Cultivated 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. Consideration of cosmic rhythms and the application of special preparations create a self-regulating ecosystem in the vineyard. These wines are distinguished by particular 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 businesses to renowned estates – what matters is uncompromising quality orientation.
Most of our wines come from winemakers who work with ancient indigenous grape varieties and combine traditional methods with contemporary knowledge.
Who We Work For
For you! Our offering is aimed at discerning wine lovers who are willing to think outside the box. At people who regard wine not merely as a pleasure, but as a cultural asset. At those who have the courage to discover beyond the beaten path.
More Than Just Trade
Beyond the distribution of excellent wines, we see ourselves as responsible for imparting knowledge. Through detailed product descriptions, regular online tastings, magazine articles and winemaker profiles we enable our customers to make 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.
