Winery:

“The basis for natural wines is trust in the work of nature and the impact of one’s own work.” Nicole and Achim Reis are experienced winemakers. Both were born into winemaking families in the Moselle region, where their fathers and forefathers grew wine. “We love the Moselle and working in the vineyards. Our family has been growing wine on the steep slopes of our little village Briedel for fifteen generations. Our sons Aaron, Vitus and Jasper are also working to develop and preserve this tradition. Some of our plots have been planted with vines for more than a thousand years. Here we are at home."

Winemaking: 

All NATMOSELLE wines are certified organic and vegan. They ferment spontaneously with the vineyard's own natural yeasts. Avoiding industrial additives is mandatory. All wines taste dry and are not filtered. The wines thrive on the world-famous slate slopes of the Moselle. The unique minerality of this terroir is the basis for the fine, complex, stimulating mouthfeel of the wines.

“Over the decades we have learned to trust the vines and our careful handwork on the steep slopes. When harvesting, we select by hand in several harvests at the time of optimal ripeness. Through this loving effort in the vineyard we obtain perfect grapes. This special quality of the grapes allows us to exercise the greatest possible restraint in winemaking (“low intervention”). We support the winemaking process of the grapes with experience and feeling. The wines want to show their originality and we want to experience exactly that. They seem to tell stories about golden rays of sunshine in September and the deep inscrutability of the slate soils. Sometimes they can even stop time in special moments.”
