ABOUT ANDI MANN

Andi Mann runs a small winery in Eckelsheim, Germany, in the southwest of the Rheinhessen wine region. He is one of the young winegrowers who are taking over their family estates and, in the process, are rethinking methods in the fields and cellars. Andi cultivates his 10 hectares as holistically as possible, converting to organic farming and minimal intervention winemaking. Andi says, "For me, natural wines are about openness and intensity of taste, and that's what I want to show with my wines. I want to produce wines that show where they come from; and if they can show that for a long time - that is my dream and my goal."

Andi is always on the lookout for the most suitable slopes in the area, thinks about functioning cycles and is careful with his vines. Local sheep are allowed to wander through the vineyards, loosening the soil, and bringing with them nutrients from the lower slopes. One of his many future projects is to have his own flock of sheep. The growth of wild orchids, a rarity worthy of protection, shows what a fascinating ecosystem a vineyard can be. 

Another special feature in this area is the volcanic rock - porphyry - which can also be found in the walls of the old winery, and to which Andi's "Purpur" wines owe their straightforward taste: an elegant and somewhat cooler note. Interestingly, Andi's vineyards are located both on volcanic rock and in other locations where limestone forms the subsoil. This variety ensures a wide-ranging yield in terms of taste.

CALX GRAUBURGUNDER 2020

We have Andi Mann's popular Pinot Gris for this vintage as "Calx", from vines that grow on very calcareous soil, and as " QHimmel" . The Calx was fermented on the skins for two weeks, with 30% unstemmed grapes. The wine was stored in small casks for a year. There's only a small amount of this very popular wine available - so order ahead of time if it's on the wish list!
