Andi Mann
Rheinhessen, Germany
Andi Mann runs a small winery in Eckelsheim, Germany, in the southwest of the Rheinhessen wine region. He is one of the young winegrowers who are taking over their family estates and, in the process, are rethinking methods in the fields and cellars. Andi cultivates his 10 hectares as holistically as possible, converting to organic farming and minimal intervention winemaking. Andi says, "For me, natural wines are about openness and intensity of taste, and that's what I want to show with my wines. I want to produce wines that show where they come from; and if they can show that for a long time - that is my dream and my goal."
