Broc Cellars, Berkeley, California
Located in Berkeley, California, Broc Cellars is a "low wattage" winery in the sense that they have very little modern equipment. Grapes are pitchforked whole-cluster into the fermenters, fermentation is allowed to happen spontaneously, all wines are basket pressed, with little/no sulphur used in wines until bottling. Their wines true character comes from using only sustainably, organically, or biodynamically grown grapes from areas that most would consider marginal climates. Believing that vineyards develop ‘true’ character and complexity when they have to struggle to survive.This can come from many different aspects: poor nutrient and water holding capacity, steep slopes, cool temperatures, or from old vines that are dry farmed. In the cellar they try to continue this practice using minimal intervention, in an effort to let the grapes speak for themselves.
