Hay, wildflowers and pear, honey as it ages: a very mineral wine with a lot of depth and a long finish.

The Wilde Heimat (German for “wild home”) is a single vineyard Silvaner produced until 2019. Growing on the steepest slopes of the Schwanberg next to the town of Iphofen on a bedrock soil called Keuper these 50 year old vines got as much sun exposure as you can possibly get in the area.

Half of the grapes got macerated over night before being pressed, the other half destemmed, crushed and fermented on the skins for about 10 days. Fermentation finished in old oak 600l oak barrels where the wines aged until the next summer before being racked and blended into a tank where they stayed at least another six months 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.
