Skin contact, dark Rosé, light Red. You could easily fit this wine into any of those categories and not be disappointed. Pinot Gris commonly known for its rather opulent dry white wines actually has a thick red skin making it an interesting variety to ferment on the skins. Orange wine you could not quite call it but technically it is just that. Bright red magenta colours in the glass, expressive red fruit notes and almost orange peel like aromatics with a well balanced but pronounced tannin structure. If you would try and describe wines as cocktails this could easily be the negroni of wines. Chilled and paired with punchy goats cheese or smoked fish, this wine is nothing but delicious.Skin contact, dark Rosé, light Red.

What we love about Wenzel is ...well…everything! First and foremost is that he makes pure, delightfully clean natural wine. Second is his story, that of a passionate, successful winemaker with a philosophical revelation. A natural winemaker’s job is to cultivate vitality he says. “Natural wine is the product of pure, unadulterated fermented grape juice. Organic farming is simply the prerequisite.” Michael stopped using any synthetic pesticides and began to rely entirely on native yeasts. “Natural yeasts are - and it took me a long time to realize this - the real winemakers. My responsibility as a winemaker is to respect nature.” They removed all metal from their vineyard. Each vine now has wooden support tied with a natural, biodegradable hemp ribbon. They began to prune their vines short, lower to the ground, so nutrients travel more easily into the vine. Their vines are densely planted to foster healthy competition, increasing phenolics and keeping sugar levels low. Michael says this creates a more “harmonious” and balanced wine. “Good natural wine is not filling. There are many wines that you have had enough of after one glass. Natural wine ... has to be light and drinkable.”
