Sons of Wine

Alsace, France

Farid Yahimi, the founder of Sons of Wine, embarked on his career in digital communications before immersing himself in the natural wine movement, inspired by his cousin Carole Yahimi, the founder of the French Association of Natural Wine. Initially assisting renowned wineries like Pierre Overnoy, Marcel Lapierre, Thierry Puzelat, and Christian Binner, Farid transitioned to winemaking in 2010. He began experimenting with grapes from his vineyards and purchased fruit. By 2017, having successfully sold out all 5,000 bottles of his wine, he expanded production and christened his wine label SONS OF WINE. This name was influenced by the TV series SONS OF ANARCHY and his passion for motorcycles.

Farid places significant emphasis on cultivating personal relationships with his growers. He selectively sources grapes only from growers he shares a strong rapport with, ensuring a harmonious collaboration to yield high-quality fruit in sustainable quantities using biodynamic methods. Notably, all his wines are crafted without any additives, including sulfites, and undergo no filtration process.

At a glance

· From open-source software to natural wine. Farid Yahimi began in digital communications and tech. His cousin Carole Yahimi, founder of the French natural wine association AVN, introduced him to natural wine and pioneers including Pierre Overnoy, Marcel Lapierre, Thierry Puzelat and Christian Binner.

· Self-taught from the start. Farid chose hands-on experience and experimentation over formal oenological training. He planted his first parcel and made his first vintage in 2010, initially producing wine for himself and friends.

· Sons of Wine, born in 2017. Inspired by Sons of Anarchy and his passion for motorcycles, the project officially launched with 5,000 bottles. His first commercial release sold out that same year.

· An Alsace base, a wider reach. After working in Christian Binner’s cellar, Farid established his own winery in Ribeauvillé in 2020. He owns two hectares and works primarily with purchased grapes, 90% biodynamically grown and 10% organically grown.

· One cuvée, one vineyard. Each wine comes from a specific site that Farid returns to year after year. This approach lets him explore distinctive grapes and terroirs, from rare red Muscat and volcanic soils to 150-year-old Verdejo vines in Spain.

· Relationships first, nothing added. Farid works closely with his growers on vineyard practices and biodynamic treatments. In the cellar, he uses no additives, no added sulfites and no filtration at all, relying on patience, observation and humility to guide each wine.
