Winemaker's Tasting Notes
"A gentle wind blows constantly over this inclined plane, protecting the skin of the berries from any dampness so they are able to ripen over a long period. The Riesling is fermented with the natural yeast and is stored in a large wooden vat. The Riesling matured with the lees over 5 months and is filtered unfined just before bottling end of August. "

About
Founded in 1786 by Jacobus Kuhn, the Kuhn estate remains a family operated winery currently run by 11th generation winemakers – Peter Jakob, his wife Angela, and their son Peter Bernhard. Peter Jakob and Angela Kuhn are passionate grape-growers at heart. The entirety of their efforts is in the pursuit of exploring the potential of, and finding the purest possible expression of their grapes. Peter Bernhard graduated from the prestigious Geisenheim University after stages in Burgundy and Alsace (at Zind-Humbrecht) and has been working in the estate’s cellars ever since. Having studied thoroughly both the philosophical aspects of biodynamicism and the science of both grape growing and winemaking, Peter Junior lends a fantastic perspective and represents the next generation of Kuhn family winemaking.

The Kuhn family history is intrinsically woven into their land. For over 200 years the Kuhns have meticulously maintained their vineyards and developed a deep appreciation of their land. The decision to embrace biodynamic principles was borne of this relationship and an earnest desire to produce vibrant, expressive wines that did justice to the terroir on which their family has farmed for 10 generations. As the first (and still the only) biodynamic producer in the Rheingau, the Kuhns have fully embraced every aspect of the preparation, the application and the philosophy of biodynamic farming and have quickly become icons for profound Riesling and natural, organic wines.
