A sharp and fresh skin-contact white. 4 days whole-bunch on skins from 40 year old vines.
The colour alone is refreshing. A slightly cloudy lemony hay colour hints at the lighter skin-contact. Bright pretty wild meadow flower bouquet. Tingley refreshing character and lifted acidity. A soft dusty tannin with some white pepper, lemon rind and a bit of toasted hazelnut. Lovely sit-back-and-chill wine.
The Brand Bros, Daniel and Jonas, are 5th generation winemakers from the northern part of the Pfalz region in Germany. They started making natural wines in 2014 and have been a big part of defining the reputation of the region. This is a working agricultural region well away from the touristy picture postcard villages to the south. Yet the Brand Bros bring amazing personality, purity, brightness and zing to wine with their character and energy. These days all of their wines are zero/zero. So nothing added or removed including zero sulpur added.
Their vineyards are certified organic but they also work bio-dynamically. They mingle and interlace with wild meadows of clover, wild herbs and flowers and are abuzz with bees and other useful critters.
Grapes are hand harvested. All fermentation is spontaneous with wild yeasts. No additives, fining or filtering.
The labels are all drawn by their grandma who is a local artist and they tend to have personal stories of local and family traditions which just charms me to tears.
Oh! and I know I say this about a lot of our wines, but still stand by it, these are among the best value wines we've tried...
