Weingut Brand, ‘Shake & Wait’ White Pét-Nat 2021

From the distributor: "Young brothers Daniel and Jonas Brand (both in their twenties) recently took over their family’s century-old estate, and are breathing new life into this former workhorse of the Northern Pfalz. The kids are smart, eager, and dialed into the growing natural wine scene both in Germany and in neighboring France. They’re just starting to make waves –– converting all their viticulture to organic (certified as of 2015) and are experimenting in the cellar."

This juicy white pet nat spends a few hours on the skins before fermentation and then has consistent contact with its lees. The result is fresh fruit and floral flavors and aromas. The brothers encourage you to agitate the bottle to mix the lees in before drinking and then wait a few minutes while they resettle before pouring.
