A serious wine with a silly name - Couilles d'Anes translates as 'donkey balls', a colloquial term coined by the local vigneron to describe the unusual black stones that can be found dotting the vineyard soils in certain locations. A delightfully aromatic vintage, bright cherry and bramble fruits meld with a violet perfume in the glass. Find out more.

The grape most synonymous with Franken, this is one of Martin's more serious terroir wines made with 100% Silvaner. The vineyard parcel (one of Martin's oldest planted in the late 80s) sits over a particular type of limestone the region knows as Muschelkalk. Rich in fossilised shells and century old marine deposits, it is highly calcareous and imprints precision acid and minerality to the finished wine. Find out more.

The most boldly-structured of the Grange du Nord wines, Mitan introduces a wild-edged nose of Carignan to the Grenache and Cinsault, and brings a lightly vegetal, stemmy character from the whole bunches.
