MEINKLANG
Meinklang farm is an impressive, very large chemical-free & holistic natural wine estate from Burgenland in Austria. Headed by Angelina and Werner Michlits, what's unusual about Meinklang is how they can achieve such quality natural wines on a much larger scale than many can achieve.
Perhaps the largest natural wine producer we are aware of, they also make wines which would be considered not natural, as well as running an impressive cattle farm and lots of grains (with which they make beer and feed their animals... in addition to making bread). They really do it all! We highly recommend their Weisser Mulatschak for one of the best value orange wines ever!
Meinklang stands for Biodiversity
Located along Lake Neusiedl on the border of Hungary (with vineyards on both sides), the estate grows typical Austrian varieties such as Grüner Veltliner, Grauburgunder, Blaufränkisch and Saint Laurent, as well as Hárslevelü and Juhfark on the Hungarian side. The Michlits really believe in the full circle of life within the vineyards, encouraging biodiversity with the cattle and sheep that fertilise the vines, grains, fruits and vegetables that are also grown there. And, of course, they use spontaneous fermentation, avoid fining, and use little-to-no sulphur.
Weisser Mulatshak - amazing value orange wine!
Their entry level wines like Weisser Mulatschak (what we believe is one of the best value natural orange wines ever!) is a perfect gateway into their affordable natural range, while special wines like Graupert, Morgen, Tag, Abend, and Nacht show a more special part to their wines, yet still remaining playful.
