Weingut Mann, Rötlich (2020)
Weingut Mann is a small winery from Eckelsheim in “Rheinhessen Switzerland”—a little-known circle of wine villages fanning out south of Wöllstein that have steep hillsides and forested summits. Andreas Mann cultivates around 10 hectares of vineyards and tries to do it as holistically as possible. His wines are always a representation of nature, and the character of each wine is created in the vineyard.
