Meet Baptiste Bley, the heart and soul behind Clos Siguier, whose family’s deep-rooted connection to winemaking spans generations. Following the devastation of Phylloxera, Baptiste’s ancestors turned to livestock farming, with only a small place for wine production. But by the end of World War I, his great-grandfather, Edmond, revived the vineyards, selling wine in barrels to merchants in Toulouse and Bordeaux. The tradition continued through the 20th century, with Simon and Nicole Bley focusing on bottled wines and creating the brand "Le Clos Siguier." This name is inspired by a plot rich in iron, affectionately known as the "clos d’acier."

Region: Roussillon, France

Domaine Lampyres is a family estate in Espira de l'Agly, Roussillon, led by fourth-generation vigneron François-Xavier "F.X." Dauré. After years working alongside Tom Lubbe at Matassa, F.X. took over his family's vineyards in 2015 and began converting them to organic farming. He launched Domaine Lampyres in 2016 with just 600 bottles made in his garage, before gradually building a dedicated cellar and bottling more of the family's fruit. Today, he farms organically with a minimal-intervention approach, producing vibrant, terroir-driven wines that have become some of Roussillon's most exciting new expressions.

Meinklang is a lively farm compromising the three typical fields of a Pannonian farmstead in East Austria south of capital town Vienna: wine-growing, fruits and agriculture. Each family-member is specialized in an aspect of farming. Unique is the estate owns Angus & Aubrac cattle herd. It`s the farms source for our own nutritious, organic fertilizer for lively soils in the vineyards and creates the closed circle in the biodynamic Demeter farming. Outstanding issues are the totally unpruned vines, called «graupert» and the extended maturation in concrete egg-shaped containers. As well as the family initiated the first holistic Demeter brewery where we refine the ancient grain beer out of the old varieties called Einkorn and Emmer wheat. - From Zev Rovine

Christina Netzl's journey into natural winemaking began at the tender age of 5, tending to her family's farm and vineyard alongside her parents and grandparents. With time, her parents redirected the family business solely towards grape cultivation and winemaking, expanding it to encompass the 28 hectares they currently operate in the Carnuntum winemaking region, situated just east of Vienna and north of the Neusidler See. Christina pursued studies in oenology and wine management in London, immersing herself in diverse wine styles from around the globe. Upon her return to the winery in 2007, she collaborated with her parents, later fostering a fervent commitment to organic viticulture, particularly after becoming a mother of two.

Region: Vipava Valley, Slovenia

High above the Vipava Valley, Mansus is a small family project from the Makovec family, farming steep hillside vineyards in the village of Brje. Up here, warm Mediterranean air meets cooler continental winds from the Karst Plateau, creating a natural balance in the vines.

The vineyards are farmed organically, and the cellar work stays hands off. All wines ferment with native yeasts only, with no additives or shortcuts. Mansus is also among the few producers working with Klarnica, a rare indigenous grape native to Vipava, helping preserve the region’s wine heritage.

The wines are quietly expressive and textural, with freshness, gentle grip, and a clear sense of place. They are not flashy, just honest, naturally made wines that feel rooted in where they come from.
