About the winemaker
Melanie and Michael are the duo behind ‘2Naturkinder’. Both scientists by training, they lived and worked in major cities around the world, where they first encountered natural wine. The striking difference in taste from the wines they were used to stopped them in their tracks the experience left them fascinated and eager to understand more.

About the vineyard
In 2012, they returned to work the family vineyard, established in 1843, in Kitzingen on the banks of the Main River in northern Bavaria. At that time, the winery was still run in a classically German style. Although Melanie’s parents had always made wine conventionally, they gave Melanie and Michael their full support to implement changes both in the vineyards and the cellar. Over the years, the estate has been transformed into 7 hectares of organic and biodynamic vineyards a testament to sustainable viticulture and low-intervention winemaking. The vineyards are also home to a rare species of bat, a creature Michael is particularly fond of and which appears on several of their wine labels. When needed, ‘bat guano’ from the nearby nature reserve is used as fertilizer, and Michael actively sponsors a project researching the role of bats in vineyard ecosystems.

About the wines
Under the 2Naturkinder label, all wines are crafted according to their shared philosophy: "nothing added, nothing taken away." Melanie and Michael’s wines are a study in clarity, brimming with energy, tension, and a hallmark freshness. Their meticulous care for the land and throughout the winemaking process is unmistakable in every glass, embodying the best of European natural wine producers and artisan winemaking from organic vineyards in Bavaria.
