Rudolf Trossen Kestenbusch ‘Purus’ Riesling Trocken 2018

Riesling

Rudolf’s early years working the family vines, spraying with chemicals & fertilizers, led to a  realisation that there had to be another way. A book by Rudolf Steiner (the founder of the biodynamic approach to viticulture), marked the beginning of over 40 years in biodynamic viticulture for the Trossen wines. The purity, minerality and energy seem to reflect the abundance of life both above & below the soils in his vineyards.

The Purus wines are natural, the others have tiny additions of sulphur (still qualifying for biodynamic status), to avoid losing the vineyard expression in the glass.
