Kraut & Rüben
Gemischter Satz
Natural Wine
The provocateur – exceedingly independent, completely non-conformist and uncompromising, this wine suggests: “Love me or leave me!”
Gemischter Satz, hand harvested, spontaneous mash fermentation, 8 weeks of skin contact, maturation on the full yeast for at least 12 months, no interventions or treatments, unfiltered. – so reads the resume of this great individualist, a true “Vin nature”
Kraut & Rüben stands for the coulerful tangle of skin, seeds and juice. These millennia-old processes characterize a particular style of wine.
An extroverted, almost provocative personality. Light copper, orange reflexes, slightly cloudy, mushy fruits from the garden, autumn forest in the fog, spicy herbs, superior freshness, associations with Campari bitterness. Curious?
