Pinot Blanc
Holy Chapel 2018
Brand

Grape Variety: Pinot Blanc

Producer: Brand Brothers (Daniel & Jonas)

Region: Pfalz, Germany

Certified Organic

Wild Scale: 3/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Pinot Blanc grapes from a single plot were harvested by hand. 12 hour maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged in old barrels for 1 year. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: A unique chance to enjoy one of the Brand Brother's cuvées made even better with age. This is from a special plot of Pinot Blanc vines which has an old chapel in the middle of the vineyard. Time in the cellar has transformed the fruitier characteristics of the wine to something much more mineral. The short maceration period bring a really nice texture and structure. Best with food.

Notes on the Winemaker: Daniel and Jonas Brand hail from Pfalz where they took over their family winery in 2014 to concentrate on fully natural wines which are unique, alive and bursting with personality. We visited in 2018 to explore the vineyards and learn the stories that accompany the wines.
