It comes out lighter framed and more red-fruited

MTH 2022 Jura citrus and orchard fruit overMTH is Mller Thurgau, a grape nobody takes seriously, off vines sixty years old, which is where Andi Weigand starts making his point. He farms ten Naturland certified hectares at Iphofen in Franken and treats the vineyard as a single organism rather than a set of rows. This is pressed on a basket press from the 1920s and fermented in sixty year old oak, old wood and old vines left to get on with it. Unfiltered, no sulphur added. Pear and white
