Winemaking: Organic Muller Thurgau and Silvaner grapes were harvested by hand. Foot stomped and pressed before fermentation with indigenous yeast in a combination of old oak barrels and stainless steel. Riesling blended in before bottling. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.
This Wine: Natural white wine that is an ode to the times when Michael made wine alongside his father. Muller Thurgau is the dominant variety so expect subtle tropical fruit with a touch of elderflower. The Riesling and Silvaner bring some mineral complexity. Easy drinking wine that is perfect of a midweek glass with friends.
Notes on the Winemaker: Melanie and Michael fell in love with natural wine whilst living just up the road from the bar (Archway) many years ago and decided they must return to Michael's father's winery in the small town of Kitzingen and convert everything to organic winemaking with no use of additives including sulphur. They are dedicated to produce wines that are alive and a true reflection of nature. We visited in 2018 and they are 2 of the most welcoming, knowledgeable and inspiring people you can meet.
