Trossen Kestenbusch Purus Riesling 2018
Type: White
Producer: Weingut Rita & Rudlof Trossen
Country: Germany
Region: Mosel
Grape: Riesling
Year: 2018
Farming: Organic/Biodynamic
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 2018 was harvested late. Many old rootless vines bring a certain filigree to the wine. A little bit of mashing time was added. Thus the wine has an earthy tautness and depth, and on top of it small yellow fruits appear.
