"I work with Nature, not against it." - Jörg Bretz
It's truly a delight to discover that wines like Jörg Bretz's still exist in the world today. Jörg himself is a fascinating individual - and his wines are the perfect reflection of him. They are honest, steadfast, consistent, multifaceted, and complex. They have a hearty grip and are completely pure, telling their own unique story of the vine and the soil. Jörg creates wines in a relaxed and soothing manner that are always great in their own unique way - pleasing to all the senses, with a depth and substance that is truly inspiring. He never manipulates his wines, instead listening to nature and letting them express their own character and play.
These are natural wines that don't necessarily come with a label, but they are undeniably special and of excellent quality.
It's no surprise that Jörg typically starts harvesting when others have already stored their grapes in the cellar. He's entirely focused on taste, and the presentation of his wines is deliberately cool and understated. He keeps the alcohol content in the pleasant, drinkable range with first-class craftsmanship, and has a deep-seated sympathy with nature that is reflected in his work. With excellent craftsmanship, wise mental work, and all the time in the world to focus on his wines in the cellar, Jörg produces wines that are truly at their best.
