WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Bergzoll by Schiefer likely emphasizes traditional methods to highlight the Eisenberg terroir. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure quality. Fermentation, possibly with controlled temperatures, allows for the expression of fruit and regional character. Aging is typically conducted in large, neutral oak barrels or stainless steel, a technique that avoids overpowering the wine with oak influence and instead focuses on developing its structure and allowing the inherent minerality from the slate and iron-rich soils to shine through. The winemaker's approach is one of minimal intervention, aiming for authenticity and age-worthiness.
