Muller-Ruprecht 'Orange' 2024 Pfalz, Germany

Grape 🍇: Mostly Huxelrebe, with Weissburgunder, Kerner, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer

Style 😋: Light bodied, dry, and delicately aromatic. Cantaloupe, tangerine blossom, grapefruit pith, and a soft texture. Bright acidity keeps everything zippy and refreshing.

Details 📌: A 10 day skin contact blend from organically farmed vineyards in Kallstadt, fermented with native yeast in a mix of stainless steel and old oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered at only 11% ABV.

Story 📖: Though Müller-Ruprecht only released their first vintage in 2020, they’re already making waves in Germany’s Pfalz. Sabine Wöhrwag and Philipp Ruprecht farm historic family vineyards in the famed village of Kallstadt, including holdings in the iconic Saumagen site. Their farming is organic and precise, and their wines are all about clarity, joy, and energy. While rooted in tradition, they're equal parts discipline and experimentation.
