{"title":"Strohmeier","description":"\u003cp\u003eFranz Strohmeier operates as a natural winemaker in Steiermark, part of Styria, Austria, often referred to as the \"Green Heart\" of Austria. He manages 8 hectares of vineyards, continuously exploring more natural viticulture methods. Notably, he recently began using whey to treat his vines instead of copper sulfate. Some of his vines are left unpruned, yielding intensely flavored, small grapes. Franz does not align with certified biodynamic organizations, yet his practices are reminiscent of biodynamic methods. He opts not to treat vines affected by disease, favoring natural selection to enhance overall vineyard health through increased biodiversity. His portfolio includes unique sparkling wines known for their finesse and the \"Trauben, Liebe \u0026amp; Zeit\" line—wines made without sulfur, utilizing only grapes, time, and care in their production.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"strohmeier-tlz-indigo-red-wine-natural-wine","title":"Strohmeier TLZ Indigo Red Wine NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrohmeier TLZ Indigo Red Wine NV is made from Blauer Wildbacher vines.
