GRAPES: 100% MÜLLER-THURGAU
SKIN CONTACT: 3 WEEKS
REGION: PFALZ, GERMANY
Producer: Daniel and Jonas Brand hail from the Pfalz, where they took over their family winery in 2014 to concentrate on fully natural wines — unique, alive, and bursting with personality. Fifth-generation growers, they farm organically (certified since 2018) with a regenerative approach to the soil.
Vinification: The Müller-Thurgau was hand-harvested and destemmed, then left to macerate on its skins for a full three weeks, drawing out colour, aromatics, and a fine tannic grip. Fermentation began spontaneously on the wild yeasts carried in on the fruit, with no temperature control and no additions. Before the sugars had fully fermented out, the wine was bottled so that fermentation could finish in the bottle, trapping its own carbon dioxide for a gentle natural sparkle — the ancestral pét-nat method. Left undisgorged on its lees, with no dosage. Unfined, unfiltered, with no added sulfur.
