A wine that has gone through many twists and turns to end up in its final form - a great example of some experimentation and ingenuity resulting in something delicious.

A natural wine which always falls somewhere in between the orange and hazy-white wine world, the 2023 iteration marks a return to the lighter-hued juice thanks to lots of pre-harvest rain. The process is the same as always, a big jigsaw puzzle of various grapes, vessels and maceration times, all assembled shortly before bottling in April 2024. 

It's a huge blend - a bit of almost everything weiss that the Brand Brothers grow: Müller Thurgau, Riesling, Kerner, Silvaner, Chardonnay, Weissburgunder and Grauburgunder. Each variety is picked by parcel, and begins vinification the same way: enthusiastically foot-stomped, then are either left to macerate for various lengths, directly pressed, or infused whole bunch. All done in either stainless steel or old barrel- whichever vessel the brothers decide the varietal is destined for. 

The outcome? A bracingly zippy, palate-cleansing wine that buzzes with tart white grapefruit citrus and softens into the creamy peaks of a lemon meringue pie. A real zinger!
