NATURAL WINES BY ZARATHUSTRA
Zarathustra is Jakob Kulosa's sparkling wine project in Naumburg, Saale-Unstrut, Germany's northernmost quality wine region. He makes only sparkling wine, plus a sparkling cider called Zidre, applying natural wine principles to Sekt. The vineyards are on limestone in a cool climate. Grapes are hand-picked and pressed as whole bunches in an old basket press, and only the first half of each pressing is used.
Base wines ferment with wild yeasts and spend about 12 months on full lees, mostly in used barrels. For the second fermentation Jakob adds no yeast or sugar, but the fermenting juice of the next harvest. Nothing goes in before disgorging, when some wines get a tiny dose of sulphur. We stock Amor Fati No.3, a blend built around Silvaner, and Superator.
