Rheinhessen, Germany · Red Wine · Light Bodied

Andi Mann's Spätburgunder draws on both of Eckelsheim's defining soils, the limestone he calls Calx and the porphyry he calls Purpur, one lending weight, the other a cool, mineral lift. Organically farmed and hand-picked, it ages in used barrels and goes to bottle unfiltered and without added sulphur, which keeps it light on its feet and honest. Bright red cherry and rhubarb, a stony, herbal undertow, fine tannins and a fresh acid line that keeps everything moving. This is German Pinot in its cooler, more transparent register; serve it slightly chilled.

Pairing Suggestions

Its earthy edge meets dark soy well: char siew rice or braised mushrooms.
Or duck, with something bitter and green beside it.

About Weingut Mann

Andi Mann is the latest of a family that has made wine at Eckelsheim since 1699, though he works in a way his ancestors would barely recognise. His ten hectares sit in the steep, forested hills of southern Rheinhessen, on a patchwork of sand, limestone, porphyry and volcanic stone, and he farms them organically and biodynamically, convinced that the health of the vineyard decides everything that follows.

In the cellar Andi does as little as he can. Fermentations run on native yeasts, the wines rest a long time in large old oak, and nothing is fined or filtered before bottling. Two soils recur in the names on his labels: the limestone he calls Calx and the porphyry he calls Purpur.

The range runs from sessionable rosés and light reds to taut, mineral Rieslings and textured skin-contact whites. What ties them together is clarity and energy, and a clear sense of the cool northern place they come from.
