Supported by his family, Christoph Hoch has been going his own way since 2013 to uncompromisingly express the character and uniqueness of his origins in Hollenburg im Kremstal in his wines. Among other things, he uses the most traditional methods of viticulture and winemaking handed down from his ancestors. The step to biodynamic working methods and certification according to DEMETER guidelines was a logical part of his path.
They were also one of the first points of contact with natural wine for us and therefore an important milestone for GrapeTimes. The Heinrichs are among the first winegrowers from Austria who were able to play at the top internationally with their red wine.
The Heinrichs pay particular attention to the correct location of the vines or the interplay of grape varieties, soil composition, moisture, (exposure) solar radiation and altitude. On the 90 ha, the biodiversity (variety of species) of plants and microorganisms is promoted with the aim of healthy vines through a variety of greenery between the rows. Some locations are sometimes even grazed with sheep all year round.
The two Aldingers, the brothers Matthias and Hansjörg, benefit from the experience of their father and their grandfather, who unfortunately has already passed away. As exaggerated and trodden as the saying may be, here tradition is actually combined with modernity.
The Trollinger »Sine« is one of those representatives for a completely new approach in Württemberg. Matthias Aldinger takes an old-fashioned and simple grape variety and reinterprets it by first reducing the yield and then expanding it according to the French model.
Thorsten Melsheimer can do it simply: PétNat, Orange, Vin Naturel, Sekt. We would not be surprised if this Reiler business soon turned into a red sensation. Very clean and sophisticated, that's how you can roughly outline the style of all wines from this house. He has been producing Pét Nat since 2014, making it one of the pioneers in Germany.
In Alsace there is currently a lively dynamic - thanks to young winemakers who are keen to experiment and experienced natural wine craftsmen in one place.
One of the wineries where the younger generation is causing a stir is Achillée in the Riesling Bastion Scherwiller. The two sons Jean and Pierre Dietrich took over the winery from their father Yves in 2016, and they have been working biodynamically since 2003. With a lot of sensitivity, the guys now move a few steps further in the direction of natural wine, but always on the clean and not on the rough, wild side.
"Made of grapes, nothing else." is Milan's motto. Milan Nestarec is one of the new wild young winemakers from Europe. He makes fantastic wines that reflect the region. Mostly pressed with peel contact. For Milan Nestarec, the vineyard is the body and the cellar is the heart of his wine.
