NATURAL WINES BY ANDI WEIGAND
Andi Weigand works around 10 hectares in Iphofen, Franken, where the vines grow on heavy Keuper soils. He took over the winemaking from his father in 2015 and switched to natural winemaking in 2018, and the two now work side by side. The grapes are Franken classics, Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, Bacchus, Scheurebe and Riesling, plus Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the family also runs a guesthouse.
Grapes are picked by hand and fermented wild, mostly in large used wooden barrels, and many wines are bottled without added sulphur. Qvevri is his other tool, still rare among young German winemakers: Amphora White is Bacchus and Müller-Thurgau with around nine months on the skins. MTH is Müller-Thurgau from 60-year-old vines, Skin is a Silvaner orange wine, and Forever Young is our own blend with Andi, only 600 bottles. Music holds the crew together, as you can see in our documentary.
