Many winemakers would see the logistical challenge of different grapes ripening one month apart as impossible to work with. This is some of the beautiful madness of Nick. While Schwarzriesling is ripening at the beginning of September, Nick opted to work the fermentation slowly and keep the wine fermenting for three to four weeks while waiting for the harvest of Riesling. Thanks to this we have a somewhat traditional Rotling. Not quite rosé, not quite a red, but something magical in between.

Given the fermentation, we are left with a wine that is juicy overall, but manages to hit a sweet spot of enjoyable and serious. While the fruit is jumping from the glass and mostly primary pink and red fruits, there is a salinity that keeps the wine in check and makes it a great wine to sip on the terrace all summer.

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.
