Maria & Sepp Muster
Grafin 2018
After a long 2-4 week maceration on the skins, the wine is then matured in oak barrels for 20-24 months. The result is a cloudy, funky, complex, full bodied wine with an ever changing nose and palate that challenges the senses and leaves a strong impression. Vibrant acidity with firm but delicate tannins. Notes of warm spices, woody green herbs, and tropical fruit are perpetually in motion. Benefits from long aeration.

Maria & Sepp Muster
Maria and Sepp Muster’s labels are some of the most sought after bottles in the natural wine world. Their low intervention methods produce meditative bottles with great tension and minerality. Their labels, designed by artist Beppo Pliem, reflect the natural interaction between earth, sky, and grape — all central to their ideology.

Behind the Bottle
Located in the Styria region of Austria, the rocky clay, chalky, and silt soil, which has been in Sepp’s family since 1727, has never seen chemical treatment. After taking over Sepp’s parents estate, they obtained organic certification in 2003 for their 22 hectares of land. Their plots host over 70 plant species, breaking the mold of monoculture farming in wine — a testament to their commitment to biodynamics.
