How does Hunty by Katla Wines taste?

As Jas Swan herself states "Hunty is either an Orange or a Rosé Pet Nat... the weirder the better. It tests the boundaries of taste, bringing together structure and refreshment as one."

We agree, and this is certainly a Katla Wine, with her unique signature style written all over it.

 We found notes of peach, grapefruit and cream soda, mingeling with both herbacious qualities and the hint of baking spices, whilst also somehow having a salty and mineralic edge. It's mildly synthetic in it's profile, from the 50% Huxelrebe but this adds to the fun, playful charm as Hybrids can do when done right. Quite probably our favourite of the Katla Wines - playful, uniquelly different and delicious served ice cold in the afternoon sun.

How is Hunty wine made?

Hunty is made using grapes from winemaker friends of Jas Swan, which she then vinifies and blends together before bottling to finish fermentation in the bottle as a Pet Nat.

The grapes are sourced as 50% Huxelrebe from Christopher Barth, 25% Weissburgunder from Niklas Rückrich, 20% Riesling from Niklas Rückrich and 5% Regent from Piri Naturel. All are partially fermented seperately, with some seeing semi-carbonic maceration and others as a direct press all in stainless steel before being blended together before finishing their fermentation in the bottle, to become a Pet Nat with 8gr residual sugar

Who is Jas Swan of Katla Wines?

Founded in 2019 by Jasmin Swan, Katla Wines is a micro négoce project based in Rheinhessen. Besides working just 0.8ha herself, she also buys grapes from her friends in the area to make freestyle wines that elevate and redefines German winemaking to new directions. 

With a smaller general production of about 10,000 liters,  Swan works artisanally and creatively, preferring quality over quantity.

Supporting not just her winegrower friends with the purchase of grapes she also collabs with drag queens on her labels from around Europe, celebrating and supporting the lgbtqia community in her own special way. Such drag wines are the party wines of her portfolio: Fun, easy, delightful.

Having lived in Iceland, her more serious and often single blend wines are presented with analog pictures of her own travels. Creating a cohesive look for distinctive wines.  These wines have the tendency for being a bit more serious and yet playful and elegant at the same time.

Katla Wines is independent, selfmade and full of surprises.

Every year there's a new label to a wine, because for her a new vintage is like a new music album. 

Some people inheret tradition, instead Swan prefers to create her own.
