after 2 years of this shenanigans with a lovely little bar, it’s time to go back to the roots of it all. Drinking, appreciating and writing about wine.

Let’s kick off again with a gem of a wine. We find our wine in de German wine region of Palatinate, or as most call it Pfalz. Here on the vineyard locations on the Mittelhaardt and the bordering South Palatinate, the three brothers Jonas , Lukas, and Philipp Seckinger, work there wine magic.

The winery is founded in 2012 by the three brothers and they are been growning there grapes biodynamical from the start. All wines are fermented spontaneous and have no further technical treatments.

With a primary focus on Riesling, Weiß/Grauburgunder, and Spätburgunder varieties, there are some single vineyards which producese Chardonnay. And they are brilliant.

𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗔𝗬 𝗠𝗔𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗞𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏

This single vineyard is somewhat reminiscent of Burgundy or Jura. Solid limestone and an extremely marl-like clay allow even the very youngest of Chardonnay vines to shine through in full force.

* 100% Chardonnay, single vineyard, handpicked 2021 * aged oak barrels *

Coming months we gonna work on building an identity for the bar💙❤️

This quirky wine bar needs a logo which doesn’t feel to seriously or closed. A logo which feels welcoming to come have fun and be yourself.

Thanks for creating the logo❤️‍🔥And together we will work on the identity of the bar over the coming months!

Hope to see you all soon in the sun on our terrace or inside in our lively atmosphere of raisin the bar inside 💥

Schiedam krijgt deze zomer een nieuwe creatieve hotspot erbij: ULTRAUM. Een verzameling aan creatievelingen komen de Glasfabriek bij elkaar.

23/03/2022

Dromen worden waargemaakt!

Afgelopen 2 maanden ben ik druk bezig met de start van de verbouwing van de wijnbar. In de Glasfabriek in Schiedam gaan we samen met m'n mede dromers van Ultraum (insta: ) een nieuwe hotspot maken voor heel de omgeving Rotterdam en iedereen die wilt komen.

De 300+m2 grote loods is een enorm zware klus om het te verbouwen tot de geweldige plek die het gaat worden waar iedereen kan samenkomen om te genieten van elkaar, wijn, kunst, muziek, inspiratie en ander levensgenot. Een plek waar we intieme evenementen gaan geven zoals filmavonden, diner parties, muziekconcerten en kunst performances.

De verbouwing kost geld. En met alleen ons kapotgeslagen spaarpotten is het lastig. We hebben hebben hierom een crowndfunding opgezet zodat we met een kleine hulp van jullie het naar een nieuw niveau kunnen tillen.

Have a look:

Delen zou lief zijn en doneren nog meer. En dan hopen we deze lente jullie deze nieuwe hotspot te kunnen tonen!

Veel liefs,
RAISIN the bar en team Ultraum

De crowdfundingcampagne Verbouwing Loods: Kunst, Wijn, & Events staat op voordekunst.nl. Doneer nu en maak dit project van ULTRAUM mogelijk!

ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕦𝕣𝕒𝕝 𝕨𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤 𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝟡 🌱

For this wine, we are traveling to the volcanic grounds of the Etna in Sicilia 🌋

In the area of Randazzo a wine domain Tenuta Crasà SRC makes one hell of a wine at 800+ meters above sealevel🔥

𝐒𝐑𝐂 𝐄𝐓𝐍𝐀 𝐁𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐎 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗

* 80% Carricante topped of with Grecanico, Minella & Cattarato * 50-80 year old vines * unfileterd * steel tanks

👀 - Golden yellow unfiltered wine 💛
👃- On the nose aroma's of smoke, toast, almonds, herbs, citrus and banana 🌋🍋
👅 - When drinking, appel, citrus, orange, minerals, hazelnut and smokiness 🍊🔥
🍷 - Good balance between acidity and sweetness with a medium body. Decent finish as well✨
🍲- Pair with grilled fish or vegetables with citrus/ tomatoes 🐟🍅

A great wine to experience how volcanic grounds taste like. And that without the rapidly increasing prices of others like the Etna wines of Frank Cornelissen.

Price: €25
Bought: Chenin Chenin Amsterdam

Combi deal Sunday!✨

After all those relatively expensive sparkling wines, Kurkdroog got your back now with an affordable brilliant sparkling wine.

We are traveling again to the great French region of Jura (just keep coming back here). Here we find a Crémant du Jura which is just astonishing in this price range.

𝐋'𝐀𝐢𝐠𝐥𝐞 à 𝐃𝐞𝐮𝐱 𝐓ê𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐫é𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐮 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐚

* 100% Chardonnay* 24 months of sur lie* Natural yeast * 3g/l dosage *

- In the glass, a light gold yellow wine, with a fine bubble size 💛
- On the nose, citrus, caramel, hazelnut 🌰🍋
- On the tongue aroma's of apple, citrus, bread dough, toast, bee wax and minerals 🍞🍏
- A good combination of acidity, freshness, miniral and with a decent length ✨
- Nice with fish dishes or as aperitif 🐟

Sometimes you find these bottles which can stand out even if they are not €50+, this Crémant du Jura is one of them. A fun wine to drink which doesn't hurt when you finished your last glass. Unfortunately, not easy to find.

Price: €16
Score: 8.8/10
