Beurer, Trollinger, 2024
Trollinger is the local light red of Württemberg — the same grape that crosses the Alps as Schiava in South Tyrol and Alto Adige. Jochen Beurer is one of the region's most revered producers: a biodynamic estate in Swabia, Demeter-certified since 2012, with a reputation that runs from Trollinger up through Riesling and back again. The vines were planted in the mid-1970s, farmed biodynamically, hand-harvested, and fermented in old wooden barrels. The result is everything a great light red should be — brambly berry fruit, crunchy acidity, low alcohol, and just enough spice to keep it interesting. Lightly chilled, it's one of the most quietly serious patio reds on the shelf, and a reminder that southern Germany makes more than just Riesling.
