Kestenbusch Trossen 2018 is a pure Riesling (Purus), without the addition of sulphur dioxide so as not to lose any of the expression of the vineyard in the glass (the other wines in the cellar have small additions of sulphur).

From the very first experiences of working in the family vines, where the use of chemicals and fertilisers were everyday and obvious activities, Rudolf Trossen reflects and tries to find an alternative way of growing vines.

The book by Rudolf Steiner (the founder of the biodynamic approach not only to viticulture), marked the beginning of over 40 years of biodynamic viticulture in Trossen wines.

Kestenbüsch means chestnut grove: a variety chosen for cultivation by the Romans who settled in this area.

The vineyard is located high up, here it assimilates every ray of sunshine to reach perfect ripeness of the bunches, in this case harvested late so that the wine is given the golden richness and the unique authenticity of slate soils.

A truly complete and unusual riesling.

The purity, minerality and energy seem to reflect the abundance of life both above and below the soils of its vineyards.

Trossen

We are in Moselle where slate is the soul of the land.

Rita and Rudolf grow vines in a small village (Kinheim-Kindel) in the heart of the ancient cultural landscape of the central Moselle.

Ancient because here the Celts and Romans were the first to understand that the climate and exposure were ideal for growing vines.

In addition to the favourable climatic conditions, there is also an essential element for this area: the grey and blue slate soil, capable of translating into wines as a delicate fruit aroma and deep minerality.

Kinheim wines have a delicate fragrance and are contained in their saline and refreshing peel, never heavy nor too much alcohol.

Rita and Rudolf have been continuing the efforts of the Romans and Celts since 1978 with an extremely conservative vision of that rich, self-explanatory heritage that is the soil.

Viticulture is all natural, with the help of biodynamic supplements, agricultural processes are encouraged so that wines can express all their heritage.

"With nature for good wine is our motto, and our success speaks for itself".

"In 1978 we decided to break with the tradition of the old family-run winery and switched to organic farming. "Biodynamics" means more than giving up artificial fertilizers, herbicides and other poisons, it is a mentality of responsibility, local action but global thinking."

"Today we mainly cultivate Riesling, with growing international success. Most of the vines are located on steep slopes and we are amazed by the constant increase in the sophistication of the resulting wines. Obviously it takes a winegrower's whole life to move depleted and impoverished land to a new level of vitality".

The vines, grown organically, are not immune to pests and diseases. According to European Union regulations and the strict rules of the German organic winegrowers' association Ecovin, only grasses, minerals and a limited amount of hydrous copper solution may be used to prevent fungal diseases. The Ecovin label documents this transparency.

"The goal of our efforts are expressive and individual wines with fruitfulness, structure and elegance".
