Grandpa Schmied used to plant a variety of wine types mixed up in the same vineyard. That was common back in the days when it was hard to get any resources in Romania. Red vines are standing right next to whites and one variety next to the other. So WHY NOT keep Grandpas old vines and harvest them altogether? WHY NOT ferment them all together and let them become a light red, easy to drink? Please decant the wine! Serving temperature: 12-14°C About the grape variety field blend About the winery Edgar studied oenology at Geisenheim because of his Romanian family vineyard. Musician turned wine maker, he founded Weingut Edgar Brutler in 2018 with a focus on organic farming, native grapes, old vine field blends, and making wines based on smelling, tasting, and feeling rather than numbers and analytics. Farming is without herbicides, chemical-synthetic sprays and mineral fertilizers. His Gruenspitz vineyard is one of the only 2 plantings of this grape variety in Europe.
