In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sat down with Sybille Kuntz, head winemaker and owner of Sybille Kuntz winery in Mosel, Germany. Among many exciting topics, we explore the challenges of working steep Mosel vineyards, the demands and rewards of biodynamic farming and the evolving reputation of Riesling. We also dive into the unique style of Sybille's wines and her take on the confusing German wine laws.You can also listen to the No Sediment Wine Podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and Castbox.Some of the WINE ACCESSORIES I use regularly:🍷 My Everyday Go-To Wine Glass: https://amzn.to/3OAQAcW🥂 My Favorite Champagne Wine Glass: https://amzn.to/3qhMLRF🥂 One of My Favorite Wine Glasses: https://amzn.to/3uG8Nfc🧳 The Best Wine Suitcase: https://bit.ly/3Zlzuoq (Use code NOSEDIMENT10 for 10% discount)🗜️ I Preserve My Wines with CORAVIN: https://amzn.to/3O1AYPS🪡 CORAVIN Vintage Needle: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl🐚 CORAVIN Gas Capsules: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl🍾 I Safely Open Older Bottles with This Cork Puller: https://amzn.to/3iBrFZZ🍾 The Durand Cork Puller: https://amzn.to/3ZuRWfv🏳️ I Polish My Wine Glasses with This Cloth: https://amzn.to/3izWJcx 🪣 My Favorite Wine Chiller: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl👝 I Safely Transport Bottles With This Sleeve: https://bit.ly/3B8lFBQ📚 Some of my favorite WINE BOOKS: 📙 Native Wine Grapes of Italy by Ian D'Agata: https://amzn.to/4ggqM1P📗 The Wines of Piemonte by David Way: https://amzn.to/4igXrG4📓 Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine by Jamie Goode: https://amzn.to/3eb7AYP📒Understanding Wine Technology: The Science of Wine Explained by David Bird: https://amzn.to/3e2qBNb📕 Authentic Wine: Toward Natural and Sustainable Winemaking (by Jamie Goode): https://amzn.to/3ygtuAC📘 The Oxford Companion to Wine (by Jancis Robinson): https://amzn.to/49Wwe7V📙 Wine Grapes: A Complete Guide to 1,368 Vine Varieties, Including Their Origins and Flavours (by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz): https://amzn.to/3RCAheM📗 A Life Uncorked (by Hugh Johnson): https://amzn.to/3M5yeyQ📓 Drinking with the Valkyries (by Andrew Jefford): https://amzn.to/45mGBOGBe sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment #wineeducation #winepodcast #wine *CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO00:00 Introduction01:20 About Sybille Kuntz’s wine journey and her winery03:28 Challenges of working steep vineyards in the Mosel and being biodynamic05:43 On why some vintages are more challenging than others07:32 Why is Riesling still considered a niche wine?10:17 On handling the impact of climate change12:23 Exploring the unique style of Sybille Kuntz wines15:58 Navigating the confusing German wine laws20:08 The story behind Sybille Kuntz’s wine labels21:26 On the ageability of Riesling23:11 On the use of sulphur in Riesling production26:23 Debunking a common wine myth27:37 Commenting on the previous guest’s statementAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
