Farid Yahimi
Ammerschwihr, Alsace, France
Farid Yahimi has been working with natural wine for over 20 years already and is one of the founders of the Association des Vins Naturals (2005). After years spent experimenting with natural fermentation in his garage it was only in 2017 and after the recommendation of Christian Binner (also known as the founder of Les Vins Pirouettes) that he started to make wine himself.
The wines of Farid are a mixture of wild and pure wines for which he uses grapes from different regions. He produces his wines, under the name of Sons of Wine, in an old cellar in Beblenheim in the Alsace. From this cellar he makes spectacular and authentic wines with grapes grown in the area but also from the vines he owns in Côte de Toul in the Lorraine and the Beaujolais. Futhermore he collects grapes from the Languedoc, the Loire and even from Spain.
Yahimi’s wines are unique and creative and greatly supported and respected throughout the world of wine. He never releases a faulty wine, as he always makes sure the problems stay in the cellar, without any additions but just the addition of time, he makes sure you get wines that are ready to drink.
