At Karakterre, we gather growers who farm and make wine in ways that predate industry, where craft is not a set of techniques but a living relationship with the land.
These are producers who listen more than they control, knowing that true character comes from restraint. Their wines are shaped by soil, weather, and the persistence of those who choose to collaborate with nature.
We’re not here for perfection.
We’re giving a shot for honesty i.e. wines that reflect where they come from and how they were made. These wines carry the mood of a season, the features of a parcel, the tension of low-intervention decisions. We seek growers who step away from standardization and toward an approach that’s riskier, more personal, and harder to replicate.
Karakterre isn’t just a tasting, but a gathering of intent.
It’s a place for those who believe that how we grow, make, and share wine leaves a trace in the world. The growers who gather here work organically, biodynamically, or naturally—in both vineyard and cellar—and minimally intervene in situations of clear and self-sustaining necessity. They champion native grape varieties. They treat sustainability not as a slogan—but as something lived and practiced.
We create space for those who:
- farm their own land
- keep their operations family-run or hands-on
- commit to respect and transparency
While our heart lies in Central and Eastern Europe, our reach is global. What matters most is that you live the values we stand for.
If all this feels true to your work, we invite you to join the Karakterre community.
