FERMENTO VOL.2
Mosto presents FERMENTO, a one-night-only exploration into the wild, expressive world of natural wine.
On Thursday 11 September, Julie Fernandez from Toto Wines joins us with the wines of DB Schmitt.
This second edition spotlights the boundary-pushing bottles of DB Schmitt, one of Germany’s most talked-about natural winemakers.
At the centre of it all: Bianka and Daniel Schmitt, the minds behind Weingut Schmitt in Rheinhessen. Farming biodynamically and working with zero additives, the duo is part of a new wave of winemakers shifting perceptions of German wine; bold, unfiltered and alive in the glass.
On pour for the night and all by the glass:
Freiheit Weiss 2023
A crisp, hazy blend of Pinot Gris, Huxelrebe, Riesling, Scheurebe, Silvaner and Pinot Blanc. Unfined, unfiltered and unmistakably alive.
Monsheimer Riesling 2022
Dry, structured, and skin-fermented – Riesling but not as you know it.
Freiheit Rosé Fizz 2023
Bright and frizzante, with gentle funk and a lifted finish. One for the pet-nat lovers.
Freiheit Rosé NV
A still pink with bite. Wild strawberry, citrus peel and texture for days.
Freiheit Red 2023
Chill it. Crush it. This is juicy, energetic red wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Pinot Noir 2022
The most classic of the bunch, but still far from conventional. Earth, cherry, a touch of chaos.
Julie will be pouring with the team and guiding us through the Schmitt philosophy from soil to bottle. And of course, there’ll be Mosto-style snacks to pair along the way.
Come thirsty. Stay curious.
Walk-ins welcome, bookings encouraged.
Thursday 11 September from 6pm – late.
