WHAT THEY SAY
Its roots go back to the early 1600s but Manincor is still a magnificent example of mixing old and new, functional and beautiful, natural and industrial.
Manincor wines have a strong personality provided by the natural diversity of sites and soil compositions. Vineyards are entirely cultivated on biodynamic principles and an uncompromising determination. Count Michael Goess-Enzenberg and his wife have applied the basics of sustainability when building their new cellar and winery in 2004.
WHAT WE SAY
Manincor wines are naturally pure. Long years of far-reaching development work are now bearing fruit (the conversion to Biodynamic principle only happened 10 years ago). One unique factor is that they harvest and air age their own oak trees, to make their barrels.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
‘Exceptional wines with a strong sense of place and lots of soul all reasonably priced and made with conviction in accordance with the criteria of biodynamic agriculture.’ Slow Wine Guide
