WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kruger Rumpf Abtei 1937 undergoes spontaneous fermentation in old oak casks (Stückfass), utilizing native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for approximately 15 months before bottling. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness. The estate practices sustainable and organic viticulture. The winemaking philosophy centers on minimal intervention to allow the terroir to express itself.
