Müller-Thurgau is historically dismissed in Germany as a high-yielding grape used for cheap, mass-market blending. However, the late-intervention pioneer duo Sven Enderle and Florian Moll turned that reputation on its head, using old vines and skin-maceration to transform the grape into something deeply complex, texturally compelling, and cult-adored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2019 vintage represents the final bottling co-produced by Sven Enderle before he formally moved on from the winery.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eThe Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Often described as a \"cloudy sour kombucha\" or light orange wine by enthusiasts, this bottling sees anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks of extended skin contact before aging in neutral vessels. It is bottled completely unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites (\"Pur\").\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eAromatics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Highly aromatic, funk-forward, and tropical. The nose leads with notes of lemon peel, orange zest, lychee, and pineapple, alongside earthy elements like beeswax, wild honey, and a distinct cider-like fermented note.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unfussy and medium-bodied with an energetic high acidity. The extended maceration adds a light, pithy, and grippy tannin layer to the mid-palate. It tastes of crisp lemon tea, sour apricot, and intense crushed minerals.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dry and refreshing, capping off with a sharp kick of white pepper and exotic spices. The alcohol content sits at a light, highly drinkable 12% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlorian Moll\u003c\/strong\u003e (alongside his partner Geraldine and cellar-master Maxence) is one of Germany’s most sought-after Pinot Noir producers. Even though they only started in 2007, the estate has already developed a cult following, despite their ‘no fuss’ low tech approach. Florian cultivates 4 hectares of vines in Münchweier, a historic winemaking village on the slopes of the Black Forest in Baden. The sandstone and limestone rich soils found here are capable of yielding lifted and focused expressions of Pinot Noir, and he is lucky to have some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Baden. Florian does not have a certification, but believes that farming organically is the ‘new old’, normal way that his grandfather’s generation would have always practice. Despite being the exception to the rule in the otherwise heavily industrialised (however small structured) region of Baden, all the steep vineyard work is done by hand. Naturally, the yields are kept very low. The grapes are pressed with a pneumatic press and elévage is carried out in used barrels between 225 and 500L in size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite often being compared to great Burgundian estates, Florian is not trying to replicate the Burgundian style. For him and his team, it is far more important to capture and express the potential of their own impressive terroir. Overly ripe fruit and high alcohol levels can obscure terroir, which is why they choose to declassify all their wines to ‘Tafelwein’ (table wine). This frees them up to make wine in a more transparent and energetic style; a far cry from the heavy-handed Pinot Noirs that Baden is often associated with.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the past few years, they have also proven a real talent for more experimental white and skin- contact wines, and in fact, they were making unfiltered, low sulphur white wines years before Germany saw a birth of young generation natural winemakers that adopted this style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE REITMAN COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53075502989592,"sku":"JR24191-store","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5302\/9400\/files\/Reitman_Collection_Logo.png?v=1793221725","url":"https:\/\/chapfour.com\/zh\/products\/enderle-moll-baden-muller-thurgau-pur-2019-trc","provider":"CHAPTER 4 | FINE + RARE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
