{"title":"Liten Buffel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe name translates from Swedish as \"little buffalo\" , the birth name of Zack Klug's wife, who is Swedish and Native American , and it suits a winery that has no interest in blending into the regional landscape. Liten Buffel opened in Middleport, New York in May 2017, and from the beginning it was something the Niagara wine region had not seen before: a fully natural, biodynamic producer making wines with foot-crushed grapes, old wood, and no concessions to conventional intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZack Klug and Patrick Vaughn spent more than three years planning the winery before opening. Klug brought hands-on experience from Vizcarra Vineyards, Freedom Run Winery, and Leonard Oakes Estate Winery, and had been shaping a vision of low-intervention winemaking in western New York's underappreciated Niagara Escarpment appellation. Vaughn took on the ownership side, and Klug focused on the farming and cellar work. The tasting room opened alongside the first release of two whites and a red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/liten-buffel\"\u003eLiten Buffel producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"de-la-terre-pinot-gris-liten-buffel-niagara-new-york-natural-wine","title":"Liten Buffel De la Terre Pinot Gris 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eLiten Buffel De la Terre, Pour la Winediva Pinot Gris 2017 is a skin contact natural wine made from 100% Pinot Gris grapes farmed sustainably in the Niagara Escarpment region, New York State.
