Cellar
What ages underground
Our cellar was built in 1897. The barrels have been there ever since.
The barrels
Ten oak barrels, each of a different age. The oldest dates from 1962.
The temperature
A steady 12°C all year. That is the temperature where lactic fermentation works most beautifully.
The habit
Each barrel belongs to a person. They are responsible for it — for the salt, for the caraway, for the time.
The opening
After four weeks we open it. This is always a celebration — bread and wine belong to it.
