Katla Wines

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

With a smaller general production of about 10000 liters, Swan works artisanal and creative, preferring quality over quantity.

Supporting not just her winegrower friends with the purchase of grapes, she also collaborates 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 tend to be more playful and elegant at the same time. Her portfolio is a lively as it can be, you won't always see the same wines returning year by year - but keep seeing new editions, while also going back to recreate old house own classics.

Katla Wines is independent, self-made, and a house of creativity and freedom.

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