№30: DJ Oltermann
The season is slowly changing, but we can still see the warm sun going up and the nature living it’s best harvest times. To celebrate September we invited a selector extraordinaire – DJ Oltermann – to mix for us. 
And he surely did! Thus we have an amazing over 3h mix full of soulful, atmospheric and groovy vibes. Best to be enjoyed with a glass of some superb natural wine.
”Played a lot of personal classics and more recently discovered favourites in this long mix. A lot of soul and love was put into this one. Recorded organically with only vinyl, the mix shifts from hand picked jazz-funk, soul & bossanova rhythms to disco, then to some house and synth-pop records and back to a soulful outro. This kind of music I personally would imagine enjoying while having a glass or two sitting and listening in the beginning and dancing towards the end. The mix is also funky like natural wine tends to be.” That’s how @dj.oltermann describes the mix.
And the wine for this month’s mixtape is none other than Tomassetti’s Ora d’Ora!
An awe-inspiringly aromatic blend of 90% Moscato with 10% of Verdicchio and Trebbiano. Made by the brothers Andrea and Matteo Tomassetti in the Marche region of Italy.
With their experience in olive oil production the brothers took quickly to the organic cultivation of the vineyards they rented in 2015. A small house with quality production and passion!
Wild yeasts, steel tanks and no filtration for Ora d’Ora. Orange blossom and perfume on the nose and pleasant grapefruit on the palate. A crisp wine for the remaining warm days of early autumn!
Available in Alkos Turku Wiklund, Tampere Stockmann and of course the webstore for order!
Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do!

Warm summer days, nights like velvet, festival times. August is here and we love it. 
This time we’re excited to have young gun, deejay extraordinaire, nightrider like no other – DJ JVS – in the mix. Moody, atmospheric, tasteful. Just like it should be.
”…like come on now… late summer? Wine? Let’s not make things too complicated for ourselves.
I wanted to create a mix that embraces the Sunday mood. Rough and weird enough to keep you going, but still smooth enough to stop you from shying away. It’s deep, it’s funky, it’s sentimental. I decided to stay
close to the roots of jazz while flirting with the type of stuff I usually play at nightclubs. There’s real classics and brand new stuff in there. From Helsinki with love. 
” That’s how @djjvs_0 describes the mix.
And the wine for this month is Nittnaus’ Kalk & Schiefer Weiss!
Nittnaus’ Kalk & Schiefer comes from Austrias limestone and slate soil, which also gives the wine its name. A wonderful blend of Weissburgunder and Grüner Veltliner, the organically cultivated grapes are hand picked and 20% of them are given a short skin contact.
Six months in oak, no fining, no filtration, and minimal sulphites added during bottling.
Available in Alko Helsinki Stockmann and also for order!

The mixtape is made to be enjoyed when you’re feeling good and soaking in the scorching sun – any time of the day. The tempos are low (because it’s too hot!) but these songs will make your hips move to the groove even if you’re lying on a sunbed. Enjoy!” is how @mariacharlottes describes the mix.
Strawberries, cherries and pet nat’s bubbles kissing your lips. This month’s wine is Nittnaus’ Let Me Love Rosé Pet Nat!

Mas Gomá’s La Planta is a bubbly blend of Xarel-lo, Macabeu and Parellada. The vines are grown on a limestone filled soil which lends the wine tons of minerality.

The extended contact with the lees gives this sparkling wine a fine brioche-like flavors balanced with amazing fruityness. This sparkling wine is left little bit hazy which we are crazy about!

This set to me is how I picked myself up, and yes maybe accompanied with a glass or two, and yes hopefully with the contents of that glass being some nice natural wine. From Let Me Wine! 😉 And hopefully top that off with some yoga. To be listened to alone, on a gloomy winter day. Or with a good friend.

We’re happy to have Jenifa @jenni-talvikki as the next selector of the series. ”When I close my eyes, I begin to see” is how she describes the mix. So dive deep into the dreamy and mystic summer set by Jenifa now. ✨?♂️
The perfect wine for this mix is MaterVi ‘s “Anonimo” . For a rosé wine it’s on the darker side, with lots of depth and beautiful complexity in its taste. ?❤️??
Get it from Alkos : Tukkutori, Käpylä, Eteläesplanadi, Otaniemi and Myrtsi.
? Enjoy ?

We’re happy to have Handshaking as the selector for our first ever episode. ”Walking alone the sparkling coastline overwhelmed by feelings brought by the new season” is how he describes the mix.
The perfect natural wine for this mix is ”RiFol” by Ezio Cerruti. Delicious and bubbly pet’nat with gentle elderflower-vibes and beautiful faded yellow colour.
