The producer
Who are they?
Based in Pamhagen in Austria's Burgenland, Meinklang is a family estate that farms vines within a diversified farm where agriculture and viticulture are treated as a single ecosystem. The estate is particularly associated with biodynamics and a low-intervention approach to winemaking. Its wines explore multiple grape varieties and methods, from still wines to natural sparkling wines and skin-contact whites. This diversity, combined with fairly wide distribution, has made Meinklang a particularly interesting entry point into the world of natural wines and less conventional winemaking.
Their approach
What sets them apart.
A biodynamic farm
The vines are part of a diversified farm where crops and livestock contribute to an ecosystem managed as a whole.
Minimal intervention
The estate favours winemaking that seeks to support the grape rather than standardize its expression, notably through spontaneous fermentations and limited interventions.
A place for exploration
Meinklang produces still wines, natural sparkling wines and skin-contact cuvées, which makes it a particularly interesting producer for discovering different styles.

What they grow.
Le Premier Verre
Why we follow them.
Because Meinklang makes natural wine and biodynamics accessible rather than reserved for insiders. Kontakt is particularly useful in our journey: its maceration of white grapes concretely shows why an orange wine can have more colour, texture and even tannins than a conventional white.
