Winemaking: Organic Pinot Gris and Riesling grapes from a single plot were harvested by hand. Pinot Gris grapes were macerated for 5 days and the Riesling underwent direct press. Fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless steel. Rested in old oak and blended in March 2020. Bottled in March 2021 with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural skin contact wine with a beautiful peachy, pink colour. Fleshly stone fruit with energising acidity. Classy and refined. The winemaker described the 2019 vintage for this wine as once in a decade so don't miss out!

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.
