20. Minimal Intervention, Part 2: Balanced Importing with Jenna Fields

In the first half of this two-part focus on natural winemaking in Germany, Jochen Beurer spoke about about the Trollinger, Lemberger, and Riesling he’s making in Württemberg by maintaining biodiversity in the vineyard. In this episode, Chris speaks with Jenna Fields, the founder of The German Wine Collection, about minimal intervention from the perspective of an importer. Jenna brings to the USA classic producers from regions as diverse as Ahr and Franken. Jenna’s portfolio includes venerable estates such as J.J. Prüm as well as more modern producers such as Rebholz and Schäfer-Frölich. Jenna and Chris discuss the aesthetics of German wine as well as the way education and consumption has changed with a younger generation of winemaker and consumer.
