The Klettgau region in Schaffhausen is a classic wine producing area. One trend is wines created by spontaneous fermentation. Markus Ruch, a winegrower from Neunkirch, swears by it. He forgoes extensive wine-making techniques, chemical fertilizers and filtration, and instead relies on naturally occurring yeasts.
