We are so pleased to have two new wines from Daniel & Jonas Brand in Bockenheim, Pfalz. A pair of fun, juicy gluggers ideal for the sunshine.
We have a brand new cuvee from the brothers, a proper orange from their parcels on sandy soils - this helps with giving much softer tannins than their limestone soils (which yield varieties with a dry, harder tannin). Unbelievably good value, fleshy, tropical fruit and no added sulphur.
Fruit for Orange Pur was macerated for about two weeks with some direct press Pinot Noir juice added to help balance between skins and juice. Punched down daily, they press as soon as they can taste the bitterness indicating tannic extraction, raise the free-run and press juices separately in stainless steel before blending and assembling shortly before bottling.
Arriving alongside the new Orange Pur is the latest edition of their Red, from 2024. This year it just comprises Pinot Noir & Cab Franc in carbonic maceration, raised mainly in old barrels with a small portion in stainless steel - it's bright with red fruit, a little snap of green Can Franc tannin, and a mellow acidity, happily chilled, delicious drinking.
Both are available now in 750ml and Key Keg.
