About the Producer

Peter-Jakob Kühn started in 1979, the eleventh generation of his family to assume responsibility. This is one of the few estates in Germany to use biodynamic methods, and he and his family do it with awe-inspiring passion and thoroughness. The conversion was gradual and started at home: unhealthy food was banned – no white sugar, white flour or processed foods of any kind. They realised that the chemical industry was encouraging an unhealthy dependence in farmers on its products, side-lining nature in the process. So they abandoned herbicides and insecticides, anti-fungal sprays, and cultured yeasts; in 2001 they took the plunge and became biodynamically certified. They are now one of Germany’s leading growers.

The estate comprises 20 hectares on prime sites in and around Oestrich, with 90% given over to Riesling. The wines are now made by Peter-Bernhard, who has refined the biodynamic methods pioneered by his parents.
About the Vintage

Rather than the steady warmth of 2018, temperatures fluctuated in 2019 between cool and very hot, giving ripeness but also preserving freshness. There was a lot of visible sunburn on the grapes from the heat spike in July, but in Peter-Bernhard’s view, the hot period in June, just after flowering, did much more damage, although the grapes were so small you couldn’t see it. But they were weakened, and less able to withstand disease pressure, something that became evident during the harvest: while the bunches looked beautifully healthy, a large proportion were affected by rot on the inside. This had to be removed, which was complicated and time-consuming. But it was very much worth it. The wines are quite brilliant: transparent, balanced, and crackling with energy.
