Winemaking: Organic Sylvaner grapes were harvested by hand. Direct press before fermentation with indigenous yeast. Bottled before fermentation was complete in order to trap fizz inside - Ancestral winemaking technique - Pet Nat). No fining, filtration or added sulphur.
This Wine: Natural sparkling white wine from 2Naturkinder at a bargain price. Citrus and elderflower lead the way for this easy drinking Pet Nat. With a couple of years in bottle this is immaculately clean whilst still retaining its freshness.
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.
