Indie Wine Podcast episode 19 - Sebastian Erggelet - Erggelet Brothers. Sebastian Erggelet along with his brother Julian, make up Erggelet Brothers. They recently built a new winery in Brentwood, in the heart of Contra Costa County and are making really balanced, classically styled, lower intervention wines from Mataro, Carignane, Zinfandel and Malvasia. Everything coming from within a few minutes of the winery. They have also been planting a new vineyard at the farm the winery sits on, concentrating on grapes they feel will work well in the Contra Costa conditions. As Sebastian mentions, there isn’t a historical precedent for certain white varieties in the area. We discuss growing up in Germany, ending up in California and making wine in Contra Costa amongst other topics. You’ll hear a little tour of their new vineyard before we go inside to sit down and a little bit more at the very end.
