Weingut Andi Mann is now (back) in Norway 🇳🇴 31st of May 2023 was the first time I tried Andi’s wines in Norway. They had just been imported by Mousey Wine and I tried a good part of the range at a tasting in Oslo. I liked them all and was excited to see more of them in Norway. Forward a few years and Mousey Wines are no longer operational, Andi and many others disappear from the market. Then, during @naturalmysticssweden 3rd of May last year I randomly met Andi at one of the afterparties and we spoke briefly about getting him back to Norway. End of story (for now). Then later that year as I was trying to find a place to work and stay for the fall, I talked to @terroirmerroir if she knew someone and she got me in contact with Andi who was generous enough to help me last year. Then after harvest, he and the team joined me to @skinorangewinefest in October and during that trip also met Marius from @nebbiolowines who loved the wines and wanted to import them. After 4 months living and working here, I didn’t feel like it was time to leave when Christmas came. So I came back in March and now live and work here - fully! This release means a lot to me personally and I am very proud of my part in this journey. All wines have been packed and prepared by me and @mac_on_ish and I really hope you all enjoy the wines. And for the orange wines, Mischkultur Weiss is an aromatic and fun entry level orange that you can enjoy in any occasion. The Calx Grauburgunder is a beautiful orange Pinot Gris that even your parents will like. For any questions about the wines please reach out to me as well, I have quite some knowledge about them now 🧡

Welcome to Weingut Mann, Rheinhessen-Deutschland A collection of photos I took this week for the new website that is coming soon 👀

A fairytale weekend in Luxembourg at @racinesrebelles 🇱🇺 This was my first time to this very small and special country, and also first time visiting @racinesrebelles after meeting for the first time at Back of the Van by @terroirmerroir in Loire this year. Very special to visit Kaja’s vineyards and see how she works so closely with nature, installing bug hotels on her vineyard poles and seeding cover crops to give nutrients to the soil and protect it using natures own tools. This was something we talked a lot about during the weekend, and her perspectives and knowledge around nature, having biodiversity in the vineyards (like big trees, fruit trees, flowers and so on) and understanding how to use natures own tools while doing natural wine 🌷 Also the fact that we did the wine tastings in the vineyards among the vines of the wine in the glass was an amazing way to connect with the wine 🥹 She manages her 2.5 hectares mostly by herself, with some help from @loucasda aka the slave (his words 😅). In her vineyards you find the local variety Elbling along with more known local grapes like Auxerrois, Riesling, Rivaner (Müller-Thurgau) and Pinot Blanc. In her soil you find a lot of gypsum (see photo 10) and limestone which gives her wines a delicious salty minerality that works so well with her very clean approach to natural wine. She is currently the ONLY natural winemaker in Luxembourg (!!!) and her project is extremely interesting and truly recommended to follow if you don’t already. We were treated to a truly wonderful and special weekend at their home, got a quick tour of Luxembourg city as well and drank way too many good bottles of wine and had some amazing food from @loucasda (merci 🧡). This is why I love this community so much, it’s so special today to meet people like Kaja and Lucas who open up their home, share their knowledge, passion, food and wine and in return only expect to win in Solo (French Uno) and have paperplanes made for their 5 year old son Elio ✈️ We finished the weekend by discovering some beautiful old chateau’s 🏰 Already excited to go back - thank you so much again @racinesrebelles @loucasda for having us 🧡

Weinsalon Naturel 2026 🇩🇪 This was my first time in Köln and also to @weinsalon_naturel - and I loved them both! I tasted and enjoyed more wines than I photographed as I this time was actually BEHIND the table for a lot of the time. This time for my good friend (and village neighbor) @terroirmerroir . Some highlights: @andi.mann.e brought out some big boys (Chardonnay and Mischkultur magnums) that was very fun. Besides that, everything was great as usual and lots of people at the table which was fun to see. For @terroirmerroir I poured some very fun wines including Blóma Blanc & Rouge which was macerated with foraged herbs 🌿 Really unique wines. Also loved Solveig and Queedom. Great to see @laforastera2022 again! Always loved his wines, and at the fair my favorites were his Macabeu “Seu I Beu” and his long macerated Xarel•lo “El Pellut”. Met Nathalie Cornec from @pour_du_vin_nat and all of the wines were amazing. They had the perfect balance of easy drinkability while also being interesting, good structure and just such easy wines to enjoy. Can’t wait to drink this when the sun pops out 🌞 @jurriaan_morsink from @vinyestortuga was there with some really good wines from Catalonia. Loved everything, some great orange wines as well, but my absolute favorite was their oxy rosé Barbera wtffff 🤯 So pisses I wasn’t quick enough to try to buy one.. Finally tried @davidamling wines and I am so impressed. First of all, his kombucha was bomb. Makes wine in Frankonia as does a mix of local varieties and Piwi’s. Everything was super, can’t wait to drink more of this. Especially his Bacchus orange 😮‍💨 Met Antonin from @leraisinetlange , great guy and great wines. So many fun blends. Pause Canon and Hommage a Robert was my favorites. Try them all tho and check the back label for grape details! @jusnaturaewines was very cool and also lovely people! All Riesling, all Schiste and all from steep Mosel vineyards. Will for sure drink again! Finally, big shoutout to “newcomer” @alexanderbrinkweinbau for having THE best Müller-Thurgau we have ever tried and for @niloufar.wine for having such unique and fun wines 🧡 Vielen Dank!

Goodbye Oslo 🇳🇴 - Hello Eckelsheim 🇩🇪 Last fall, we went to Germany and experienced the wine harvest for the very first time. We had no idea what was gonna happen, or how we would like it. The plan was to come back to Oslo after Xmas and continue our lives here. But that’s not happening anymore. Next Sunday we drive with a full car and a (tiny) trailer along with our two cats Oliver and Zelda down to Eckelsheim over the course of two days and 1600km to fully move down to Germany 🫣 I was born in Oslo and have lived here my whole life. I did my bachelors degree, my first career job and also my passion for orange wine begun here. It’s been my home while building @skinorangewinefest , and I have created a network of importers, venues, bars, wine lovers and so many great people here over the years. It feels strange to leave all of this, and I don’t know how long we will stay in Germany, but I’m also super excited to do something completely different and we are going back to a community of people we really love and that has welcomed us and supported us from day one. After recovering from burnout in 2023, the four months I spent in Germany last fall has been some of the best for my body and my mind in many years. I’ve reconnected with myself, with wine and with music. We are currently in the middle of packing up our apartment, a place we have rented since 2022 and it is the first place that has really felt like my home. It’s strange to see it all become empty again. Oransjevin will continue, even tho this account is nowhere close to where it began. Instead of doing tastings in Oslo I’ve now made my own orange wine in Germany and I will continue with my passion for sharing wine with people, creating inclusive communities and do events that connect people with wine and music. I’m also so lucky to be able to continue working for @andi.mann.e and learning all about wine from the source and from someone I respect so much. My German is not the best, but I’m practicing daily and will work on getting better this year 🫡 Thank you Oslo for everything you have been for me and made possible through these 33 years 🧡 Excited for the road ahead 🇩🇪

Fidele - 100% Pinot Noir, minerally and long taste. Thomas de Marne Champagne (🇫🇷) 2022 on everything Lalore - 100% Chardonnay, good one, nice energy, fresh allrounder Champagne. Holistique - 70% Pinot Noir & 30% Chardonnay, wow very cool taste, unique and lively, loved it. Goustan - Pinot blend, soft. gentle, long and laidback. Elian - Pinot noir 4 days skin, not my favorite, but nice if you like a ripe red fruity Blanc de Noir. Matthias Orsett (🇨🇭) Chasselas 24 - Really nice, soft, easy, but delicate and layered. Gamaret 24 - A kind of Gamay, juicy, energetic, fun, just why I love Swiss wines. Pinot Noir 23 - So herbal and green, and so fucking good. That mountain magic is no joke.

Very concentrated and nice acidity, 100%Pinot Gris and I would never guess. Wilde Meute 23 - Tasty Bacchus/Müller orange blend. A tasty fruit bomb 🍑🍉🍊 Heimat 22 - Silvaner with one week skins, I really like this expression of the grape and not too heavily macerated. Siebenschläfer 22 - Big blend, one week skins.

Herbert König (🇦🇹) Just gotta say, I prefer fermented juice over sweet juice, but I have never in my life tasted fruit juice like this. It’s absolutely bonkers how complex, concentrated, long tasting and just energetic these juices are. If you need an alcohol-free alternative, please try his juices. Wild Cherry was my favorite. Welschriesling Sonne 23 - 7 days skins, some flor. Tannic, but really balanced. Impressive wine and doesn’t taste oxy at all surprisingly. Muskateller 23 - Super nice Muscat, grippy tannins, long taste. Much more serious. Would be fun to age I think. Wildbächer 23 - Really nice Poulssard style red. An absolute must-try.

Borgougne blanc Chardonnay - classic, but with good energy and concentration. Jean Yves Péron (🇫🇷) Didn’t manage any photos sadly… All the other cuvées were great, but these were new to me or just a while since I have tried: Cotillon des Dames Réserve - wow insane orange wine, grippy but so good, Radikon vibes Vin des Lies 22 MGN - Pure muscat heaven 🤤 Les Barrieux - good, elegant, long layered spices.

Hautes Côtes de Beaune - further north, also really good. My personal favorite. Maranges - darker fruit, but also so elegant. Brune - grippy, but impressive pinot noir. Heavier and more structured.

Really good and cool old style bottle 1.4L «Arzillier Face B» softer, smells very tropical but less on the mouth. Elegant, balanced. «Bocons de Gy» orange Sauvignon blanc 6 weeks, a bit oxy, very cool, almost like Stekar oxy and some Jura blended together. «En Babillard» Cabernet Franc love this. Gorgeous red.

Will also say that @carolinegrainpargrain wines was really good, but sadly didn’t get any photos. My favorites were Un Dejeuner Chardonnay (fresh and untypical style), Grain Superplus Orange (very solid orange wine) and Face (Jacquere/Mondeuse fun blend, long taste, great energy). A producer worth checking out!
