Description

Beurer Trollinger

This small Swabian winery was created by former European BMX champion Jochen Beurer. The Beurer family have cultivated vines near Stuttgart for generations, selling their grapes to the local wine cooperative. In 1997 Jochen, his wife Marion, and his father Sigfried started making wines for themselves. For the first two years the winery was literally just a garage. As things developed the decision was made to transition to organic farming. This eventually made way for the introduction of biodynamic farming principles, which have yielded impressive results. Jochen’s respect for nature is evident in the quality of his grapes. During the harvest he will patiently make multiple passes to ensure optimal grape ripeness. Using only natural yeasts for fermentation, Jochen will age his wines slowly until the time feels right. The resulting wines reflect the uniqueness of the Baden-Wurttemberg wine appellation, which is removed from Germany’s more classical wine regions.

Trollinger, aka Schiava, is Germany’s answer to Gamay. Light in body with succulent fruit flavors, it’s exceptionally easy drinking. Pale in color, there are fragrant aromas of sour red cherry and pomegranate. Sleek and soft tannins are complemented by crunchy, linear acidity.
