2016 Müller-Catoir Grosses Gewächs Bürgergarten Im Breumel
Sold out

Description
At a time when minimal intervention and the concept of terroir was still alien to the German wine lands, Hans-Günther Schwarz knew the score: you have to have an innate understanding of soil and site before you can make great wine. His legacy of low intervention viticulture and winemaking has gone on to inspire and educate a whole generation of young German winemakers, in the now-accepted theory that great wine is made in the vineyard not the cellar.
Im Breumel is a historic walled section within the Haardter Bürgergarten vineyard. It is the parcel that Müller-Catoir's legendary former winegrower, Hans-Günther Schwarz, always insisted was the greatest single site of the Mittelhaardt or central Pfalz. The 2016 is like tasting the essence of the Mittelhaardt; an engagingly deep and layered Riesling with pungent, smoky minerality, tangy, candied lemon rind freshness and pulsating length.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
