respekt-JOHANNI 2024

Biodynamics is more than just an agricultural concept. It is above all a holistic way of living in harmony with nature and it’s seasons.  An emotion, enthusiasm, and a feeling. It’s this enthusiasm, which we enjoy celebrating and sharing around JOHANNI, an important biodynamic day around summer solstice.

This one stands out from all previous JOHANNI celebrations.

A journey through time

100-60-25-15

…a journey that began 100 years ago, back to the year 1924, the beginning of biodynamics.

… a journey back 60 years to June 1964, the year Fred was born.

… a journey in which we look back on 25 years of the Loimer winery at its current location.

… a journey that also took us to the founding of respekt-BIODYN 15 years ago.

We tasted wines, which not only made us look back with gratitude, but we also came together to talk about the future and perspectives of wine and biodynamics. To us openness, curiosity and courage for new ways are particularly important, as biodynamics always means further development. In this regard we take our responsibility for the ecosystems of soil, plants, animals and human beings in the context of our holistic cosmos very seriously. This means ecological, economical, societal, and emotional sustainability.

This is how we will lean into the current and future challenges with future proof ideas and methods.

We had a great time and we would like to thank all our guests, friends, partners and contributors and are looking forward to meeting the future together with you!

Immerse yourself in the journey through time and experience the feeling of JOHANNI.

Origin is the only constant

Grape varieties and vinification styles come and go, but the soil stays, writes Fred Loimer, who sees a great opportunity and future in origin marketing.
