Wildcrafting 101: Racking with the Cold

Wildcrafting 101: Racking with the Cold

Here at Stardust Cellars we use ancient techniques to produce wine and mead the way our ancestors did it. Naturally cold winters were once used as a way of stopping fermentations early by sending yeast into hibernation and settling out once active wild yeasts.

Filtration removes probiotics and proteins that contribute to the natural health of wine and mead, we like to say we are preserving the Stardust In our bottles. Sure some dislike natural sediment and the mouthfeel of unfiltered wines - but we find this connects us to the natural wines of our ancestors.

Shoot me any questions you might have about naturally settling wine and mead!
