Pur Mythos 2016

$29.95 Sale Save

A highly unusual grape that is a crossing of Blaufränkisch and Teinturier du Cher. It's very dark with dark fruit characteristics to go with it, alongside some herbs, baking spices, and delicious chocolate flavors. Absolutely worth taking a risk on a new varietal to try it!

The Producer

About Brand

In 2011, brothers Daniel and Jonas Brand assumed control of their family estate, aligning themselves with a movement in the Pfalz, Rheinhessen, and Franken regions that veers away from conventional farming practices of the 1960s and 70s. They share camaraderie with fellow German winemakers like Andreas Durst, Michael, and Melanie of 2NaturKinder, and Stefan Vetter, drawing inspiration not only from within Germany but also beyond its borders. For instance, Jonas recently apprenticed at Domaine Jousset in Montlouis. The brothers cultivate limestone-rich soils in the often overlooked northern Pfalz (Nordpfalz), a region devoid of a distinct identity, which suits their innovative approach.

About the Region

Pfalz, Germany

The Pfalz region, located in southwestern Germany, is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, historic towns, and exceptional wines. In recent years, Pfalz has also become a prominent region for natural winemaking. With its diverse terroir, including sandy soils, limestone, and volcanic rock, Pfalz offers an ideal environment for sustainable viticulture. Natural winemakers in the region prioritize organic and biodynamic farming methods, cultivating grape varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Gewürztraminer with minimal intervention. By eschewing chemical additives and focusing on natural fermentation, they produce wines that reflect the terroir's unique characteristics. Pfalz's natural wines are known for their purity, freshness, and expression of fruit flavors, with Rieslings offering vibrant acidity and citrus notes, and reds showcasing ripe berry flavors and silky textures. As the demand for authentic and terroir-driven wines continues to grow, Pfalz remains at the forefront of Germany's natural wine movement, offering a taste of its rich heritage and commitment to quality with every bottle.
