The grape, Samtrot, is a natural mutation of the Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier) grape. Near Remstal you will mostly see the grape used for rosé and sparkling wines as it produces very loose bunches at very high yields. Nick decided to change it up to drastically lower the yields at pruning to one cluster per cane and has given the humble Samtrot a noble home.

In the glass expect something more akin to Burgundy. You have a lovely amount of wood in the nose, but the glass bursts with red and blue fruit with a lovely amount of acidity and a level of structure that was quite unexpected to us.

Wengerter Und

Wengerter Und

Wengerter Und, located in Schnait in the hills of Württemberg, is the new project from sommelier Nicholas Pratt. Coming from the US, Nick didn't always know he wanted to be a winemaker, but his time spent working throughout wineries in California and Washington eventually led him into gastronomy where he started to work as a sommelier. Fast forward some years and Nick moved to Berlin to follow his two passions, gastronomy and house music. (Nick is a killer DJ by the way!) Come 2020 and the temporary shut down of restaurants, Nick was left wondering what his future in wine might hold. If there was going to be a chance to take a big leap, it was now. A year practical at Odinstal showed him the insides of a biodynamic winery and from here the vision was born.

Nick has been able to slowly purchase some interesting vineyards around the village of Schnait and some other other plots in the Weinstadt. 2023 is his first release and offers us a peak into what is in store for his future. We're proud to call Nick a friend and proud to share these first wines with you.
