This is Beurer’s red blend. While not as light and bright as the Trollinger, it’s still a pretty vivid and energetic wine. The fruits are darker toned, there is a gravelly soil note not unlike Bordeaux or, maybe more appropriately, Loire reds. What else you wanna know? It’s absolutely delicious. The name, of course, is a joke – roughly translating to “good red.” This ain’t rot gut.

Formerly Rot Trocken a blend of Spätburgunder, Dornfelder and Portugeiser.

Among winemakers in Germany, Beurer is revered and his whites and reds are nearly always considered among the greats. Few winemakers are able to achieve such thrust and such purity, from the simpler Trollinger and Portugieser up to Grauburgunder, Sauvignon Blanc and, yes, Riesling.

Yet Beurer’s influence flows not only through his wines, but through his actions. Jochen is one of the deepest thinkers about the environment beyond the vineyards. A tour with Beurer is as likely to include a discussion of his bees, the vegetation and animals surrounding the vineyards as it is to include a discussion of the soil and vines themselves.
