Biodynamic

Heinrich Winery believes great wines express a true sense of place—something best achieved when vines thrive within a biologically diverse environment where soil vitality and natural symbiosis are preserved. Their ultimate aspiration is to let nature speak through their wines, guided by ethical and qualitative principles that shape every decision. 

Three cheers for the everyday wine! Entertaining, broken down to the essentials and seriously uncomplicated. An everyday wine functions in much the same fashion. While the Naked White initially comes along on tiptoe in the nose, it perches on the palate putting the whole foot into play... Its primary protagonists, Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc, lend it a creamy texture, while the supporting characters happily eliminate any resistance to drinking and throws some lemon zest into the glass. Unadulterated, straightforward & precise.

The Heinrich Naked White is a versatile wine that pairs well with light and fresh dishes like grilled vegetables, seafood, and goat cheese. It also complements a variety of other foods, including chicken, Asian cuisine, and vegetarian dishes such as roasted cauliflower or pumpkin and sage ravioli. 

Textured & Mineral

When Michel Muré settled in Rouffach and planted his vineyard in the 17th century, he surely had little conception of the beautiful adventure that he was setting in motion for his descendants. In 1935, Alfred Muré extended the property with the addition of the 12-hectare (25-acre) wholly owned Clos Saint Landelin, foreseeing already its potential for exceptional quality. He replanted the terraces, ideally situated with their sunny exposure and shelter from the rain.

Nowadays it is Alfred’s grandson René, together with his children Véronique and Thomas, the 11th and 12th generations of the family, who are responsible for running this exceptional, wholly-owned vineyard and its neighbouring terroirs, using biodynamic methods.

Muré's Sylvaner is a lovely wine.  On the nose, it delivers delicate aromas and flavours of quince, green apple and mineral. On the palate, it finishes long and clean with a soft refined perfume. 

Lovely as an aperitif; a must with shellfish and asparagus dishes.

Fresh & Textured

Bianka and Daniel took over the Weingut Schmitt in 2012 as the fourth generation to lead the winery. They are based in Wonnegau in the south Rheinhessen, centered in Flörsheim-Dalsheim. All of the vineyards are in Flörsheim-Dalsheim and neighbour villages Monsheim and Kriegsheim. Bianka and Daniel have been working their 16 hectares biodynamically for over a decade and are one of only 80 producers in Germany to be Demeter certified. 

This wine is made entirely from 100% Monsheim Riesling grapes, which were carefully harvested in the late harvest season at the end of October when the grapes are perfectly ripe and full of juicy flavour. After the grapes are picked, they undergo a process called maceration for 24 hours, allowing the juices and flavours to develop more fully. The wine is aged in large oak barrels that can hold between 1200 to 3000 liters, giving it a smooth and rich character that enhances its natural taste. 

This Riesling has a vibrant profile, and showcases ripe pear and luscious quince jelly on the palate, elegantly balanced by a zesty hint of grapefruit that adds a thrilling finish. The wine's intensity reflects the vineyard's exceptional terroir, delivering a harmonious fusion of fruitiness and acidity that invites another sip. A delightful expression of quality and craftsmanship from Bianka and Daniel, this wine is both refreshing and complex, making it a stellar choice for any occasion.

Floral & Fruity

Punset is an innovator when it comes to organic wine. Inheriting the estate in 1982, Marina Marcarino is a fifth generation winemaker.

Although the 2023 vintage was warmer than 2022, this year's Arneis shines with remarkable minerality and liveliness compared to previous releases. Half of the grapes undergo a few days of skin maceration, and after pressing, the juice ferments steadily in stainless steel tanks for about 45 days.

Marina conducts battonage for approximately six months to enhance the purity and texture of the Arneis, a grape renowned for its aging potential. The wine boasts a golden hue and intense floral notes that evolve into flavours of fruit and honey, all mirrored on the palate with a good body, persistence, and balance. Its complexity is well-structured, and an electric acidity adds a refreshing touch.

With its texture, Arneis pairs beautifully with lighter dishes such as seafood pasta, creamy salad dressings, and shellfish.
