Tasting Notes: The John family acquired the parcel where the grapes for Hapbee grow in 2019 and are changing it to biodynamic agriculture. On the nose this wine shows black- and redcurrant, apples and grapefruit, with some exotic fruit in the background. The palate is juicy and mineral, with a refreshing acidity.

Tasting Notes: Cloudy with a shiny sheen, almost something grapefruit and bronze, a brilliant color.

Nose purely in the glass and behold, the Marto White shows fresh, open and almost fragrant, was not to be expected so, fine fruit, a floral touch and in addition a juicy spice, incredibly animating. He is just immense fun. Fine grip on the palate, plus super juicy acidity, lots of salivation and again that animating fruit, a touch of wildness, grapefruit fits quite well from the grip and acidity, runs down and the palate asks for more.

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: It smells intensely of dark cherries, underbrush, bay leaf and allspice. On the palate, it presents an intriguing grip as well as a pleasing acidity, thanks to the partially macerated raps. The body is powerful, though not as overloaded as neighboring Baden vintners. You should give the Pinot Noir Liaison some time in the decanter to give it some air and let it show its full beauty.

Tasting Notes: Made from hand-picked grapes growing on biodynamically farmed vines that are partially 80+ years old. Complex and serious white wine with notes of honey, stone fruit, with a touch of petrol. On the palate well-balanced, with a zesty acidity and mineral finish.

Tasting Notes: That Martin Wörner calls one of his wines Crazy Crazy, was actually only a matter of time, it fits perfectly to the wine style, just like the winemaker himself. The Crazy Crazy is a Pet Nat from a colorful Rheinhessen variety mix. In the nose with a lot of freshness, citrus notes, only discreet wildness, tart spiciness, crisp, yellow fruit, summer freshness, some quince and chamomile, animating and with zing. On the palate with fresh acidity, again very crisp and lively, gentle perlage, fragrant with a floral touch, fizzes and wants to be swallowed and then again and again.

Tasting Notes: Riesling from Rheinhessen that strikes a different note, wild, untamed - fermented on the skins in small wooden barrels. On the nose, lemon zest, greenish plum skin, star fruit, saltine crackers, minimal animalism from the spontaneous fermentation. On the palate a clear, texture crisp fresh acidity that inevitably reminds of juicy lemons, plus perfect phenolics with a very delicate yeasty touch, holds up great on the palate and lingers, and lingers. Really mouth filling, great -new- Riesling drinking pleasure!
