NV 2Naturkinder Vater & Sohn

Melanie and Michael Völker run 2Naturkinder out of the family winery in Kitzingen, Franconia, a place that has made wine since 1843. Vater & Sohn means father and son, and the blend is built on Müller-Thurgau with Silvaner, Riesling and Pinot Gris, foot-trodden and direct-pressed, then aged eighteen months in steel and oak. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero sulfur added, the way all of their wines are made. The wine is dry, savory and fresh, with orchard fruit and a salty mineral edge, and it is lovely with grilled white fish or a soft, creamy cheese.
