Brothers Daniel and Jonas shook up the Brand family tree. Fifth generation vignerons, they decided in 2011 that their limestone-rich vineyards in the northern Pfalz should be organic/biodynamic and their winemakiing non-interventionist. Now they're rock stars on the natural wine circuit. Their super-fresh, simply named, Red, is a carbonic co-ferment, settled in bottle for 6 months and topped with a crown cap.
