As members of the sustainable winegrowing association of Germany, Hans-Bert and Silke have a philosophy of gentle vinification. For them, this means healthy grapes from vineyards with lower yields. All the fruit is hand-picked and quickly transferred to the 'shelter'. Once there, the grapes are processed in the most gentle way. "We do without pumps and filters. Our pump is gravity and patience replaces the filter."
'Shelter' is named after the old Canadian air bunker that Hans-Bert and Silke used to make their first wines and when they moved to their current location they built their own bunker-inspired Shelter to continue the tradition.
“Real energy and crackling fruit and texture. Really refreshing.”
