Philipp Freitag, whose brand motto is "It's not porn, it's art!", is the guy behind the viral hashtag #NakedFriday, which playfully borrows from the translation of Freitag, meaning Friday in German.
He's pushing boundaries everywhere, from his #NakedFriday post where he features a winemaker naked in the vineyards or in his wine cellar (!), to his super low intervention work in the cellar.
New(ish) to winemaking, Philipp just finished his viticulture training in 2016, and now makes a few wines in the Naked Friday lineup from his organica vineyards.
In the cellar, he lets the wine naturally do its thing – he says he just helps it show up to the party. Whatever he's doing is apparently working, as he was recently named one of the best winemakers in the region of Rheinhessen.

This superb Friday night Pinot is enhanced with easy tannins. Wet leaves, smoke, and blackberry scents lead to a complex, medium-bodied palate with wild strawberry, blackberry, and earthy spice notes. Ideal for a night home, a night out, and everything in between.
