En 2006, el mec\u00e1nico de autom\u00f3viles de formaci\u00f3n se hizo cargo de tres hect\u00e1reas de sus padres: empinadas e intransitables terrazas en el fondo del Spitzer Graben, que nadie m\u00e1s quer\u00eda cultivar. Hoy son seis hect\u00e1reas repartidas en trece parcelas.\n\n\u00abNunca fui a una escuela de viticultura y jam\u00e1s lo vi como una desventaja\u00bb, dice. \u00abEl cors\u00e9 de las recomendaciones nunca lleg\u00f3 a apretarse.\u00bb Esa libertad se percibe en la copa: sus vinos no siguen ning\u00fan manual, ninguna denominaci\u00f3n, ninguna moda.

Los suelos de <strong>ortogneis y micaesquisto<\/strong> almacenan calor durante el d\u00eda, obligan a las ra\u00edces a hundirse profundamente en la roca y dan lugar a vinos de mineralidad ahumada.\n\nLos pagos principales de Muthenthaler \u2013<strong> Bruck, Vie\u00dflinger Stern, Sch\u00f6n y Brandstatt<\/strong>\u2013 se encuentran todos al l\u00edmite.
