Winemaking: Organic Muller Thurgau and Silvaner grapes were harvested by hand. Foot stomped and pressed before fermentation with indigenous yeast and aged in stainless steel. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: A litre of natural white wine that focusses on the Franken region's star player, Silvaner. This is fresh and mineral lead with zippy citrus fruit and some subtle aromatics provided from the supporting grape varieties. Probably a one-off cuvée so unlikely to see it again. Superb value.

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.
