An earthy, stony wine, think dark cherries, rhubarb and herbs. Crispy acidity, complex and mineral. A wine that can age for a long time.

The Spätburgunder 2018 (also known as Pinot Noir) hails from an old limestone vineyard near Volkach. With its first vintage 2015 it drafted a new idea of German Pinot: acidic, light, neutral oak. With a mix of whole bunches and destemmed crushed berries, the wine is aged in neutral barrels to allow for breathing without overpowering with oak flavors. The wine gets racked and tank-aged for at least 18 months, for the tannins to polymerize before being bottled.

About 2NaturKinder

With backgrounds in Jewish studies and philosophy Melanie and Michael worked for science publishers in Germany and the UK for several years before going back to the family-winery founded in 1843. With the 2013 vintage 2Naturkinder was born.

All the grapes are hand-picked and come from about seven hectares of organically farmed vineyards in Franconia, Germany. There is no use of any additives at any stage of the winemaking, making these wines truly natural wines.

The wines are aged in the cellar for at least one year and often longer.
