The Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Applied to wine, it inspires a low-intervention philosophy that enhances authenticity and character, far removed from industrial standards. Born out of a desire to explore natural winemaking, Franz Hofstätter’s project combines targeted and conscious techniques, such as pruning and natural fermentation, to create genuine and stable wines. Wabi-Sabi adopts sustainable methods, reducing copper and sulphur in favour of protective microorganisms. The black label wines are produced in-house, unfiltered and aged in wood, while the collaborative white label wines combine freshness and complexity with blends of varieties and vintages. Like a used but energetic guitar, Wabi-Sabi wines reflect the spirituality of their terroir.
