The Boxbeutel: a bottle you won’t miss. Bulky, flat, and iconic – it’s the calling card of Franconian wine. In use for over 250 years, first made famous by the Würzburger Stein. Its shape? Inspired by old field flasks that don’t roll away and are easy to carry. Practical and pretty charming.
Message in a Bottle from Franconia
No wonder Markus Meier chooses it too. His winery in Ulsenheim, Franconia, cultivates 38 hectares with a focus on regionality, sustainable practices, and preserving the cultural landscape. The wines grow on Gipskeuper and shell limestone soils – and bring exactly that to the glass: structure, spice, freshness.
Markus Meier Silvaner
• Golden yellow, clear and elegant with pear, apple, citrus and herbs. Perfect with fish, young cheese – or simply on its own.
Markus Meier Scheurebe
• Deep straw yellow, tropical fruit, a touch of anise and delicate herbal spice. Great with salads, grilled dishes or anything with Asian flair.
You’ll find both wines this month at special prices – in the Boxbeutel, of course.
