Gabriel Scheuerman and his brother Simon took over the family winery at the tender ages of 16 and 19, respectively. They are now producing some of the most expressive, under-the-radar natural wine around. As they say, "We don't make German wine; we make German wine in a Loire style." A wilder, slightly crunchier take on German Spatburnder (Pinot Noir).
