WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted with a natural winemaking philosophy, 'Stein:Bruch' likely undergoes spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, without the addition of commercial enzymes or other winemaking aids. The focus is on minimal intervention throughout the process, from vineyard to bottle. It is typically unfined and unfiltered to preserve its natural character and texture, and sulfur additions are kept to a minimum, if used at all. Aging would likely occur in neutral vessels, such as old oak or stainless steel, to allow the wine's inherent fruit and mineral qualities to shine without external influence.
