The Heimat (German for “home”) is the Silvaner it all started with. 40 year old vines grow on a limestone hill close to the winery, a vineyard that has been farmed organically since the 1990s.

The defining element of this natural wine is skin-contact, as it has been since 2013. The heart is a classic destemmed and crushed skin-fermentation for one to two weeks, aging in old oak barrels. A small batch gets destemmed by hand for a carbonic element. The following summer all barrels get racked and the final blend goes in a tank for another six months before being bottled.

Always herbaceous, elderberry, dried apricot, orange peels and a little bit different and unique every year. A wine that loves oxygen and can age for a long time.

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.
