Rita & Rudolf Trossen Hubertus Purus Riesling trocken Bio 2022 white

Rita & Rudolf Trossen Hubertus Purus Riesling trocken Bio 2022 is a pure, unadorned expression of dry Mosel Riesling from one of the region’s most pioneering organic estates. Crafted without unnecessary intervention, it showcases the clarity, energy and precision that have made Trossen’s wines cult favourites among Riesling lovers. This bottling brings together the tension of steep-slope Mosel vineyards with the ease and drinkability of a contemporary dry Riesling. The “Purus” designation underlines the estate’s commitment to minimalism in the cellar and certified organic farming in the vineyards. Low yields, handwork on steep, slate-rich sites and a philosophy that favours vitality over polish set this wine apart. Since the early 1980s, Rita and Rudolf Trossen have played a key role in championing organic and later biodynamic viticulture in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, helping to redefine what authentic Mosel Riesling can be.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the Hubertus Purus Riesling trocken Bio 2022 shows a pale straw-yellow colour with green reflections, signalling its youth and freshness. Light, fine beading may appear when first opened, a sign of its vibrant character. On the nose, expect a clean, focused aromatic profile: lime zest, green apple and crisp pear, layered with white flowers, wet slate and a hint of herbal spice. Subtle notes of citrus blossom and crushed stone emerge with a little air, adding complexity without overwhelming the wine’s precision. The palate is dry, linear and energized by a racy, mouth-watering acidity typical of Mosel Riesling. Citrus fruits (lime, lemon) and crunchy orchard fruit are wrapped around a core of cool minerality, with a gentle saline edge that lengthens the finish. The texture is light to medium-bodied, but with good concentration and a finely etched structure that keeps each sip focused and refreshing. The finish is long, clean and stony, leaving a lingering impression of citrus peel and slate. Enjoyable now for its brightness and purity, the 2022 vintage also has the acidity and structure to evolve gracefully over the next 3–6 years, gaining more depth, savoury notes and tertiary nuances while retaining its mineral backbone.

Production
The grapes for Hubertus Purus Riesling trocken Bio 2022 come from steep Mosel slopes rooted in classic blue and grey slate soils, which lend both tension and a distinct mineral signature to the wine. The cool, river-influenced climate of Mosel-Saar-Ruwer promotes long, slow ripening, preserving acidity and aromatic finesse. Certified organic and farmed to biodynamic principles, Trossen’s vineyards are worked by hand, with selective harvesting in several passes to ensure optimal ripeness and healthy fruit. In the cellar, the Purus philosophy means minimal intervention: gentle pressing, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and maturation in stainless steel or neutral vessels to protect freshness and terroir expression. Sulphur use is kept to a minimum, and the wine is generally handled as gently as possible, allowing the Riesling and its Mosel origins to speak clearly in the glass.

Food & Serving
This dry, lively Riesling is a versatile food partner, particularly well-suited to delicate, freshwater and seafood dishes: think ceviche, sushi and sashimi, poached white fish, shellfish, or lightly grilled prawns. Its acidity cuts beautifully through richer dishes such as roast chicken, pork schnitzel, veal in cream sauces, or tarte flambée, while the mineral edge works well with vegetarian pairings like asparagus, goat cheese salads, seasonal greens and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10°C to highlight its precision and freshness. A brief decant of 15–20 minutes, or simply opening the bottle a little before serving, can help the aromatics open up, though it is not strictly necessary.

Producer
Weingut Rita & Rudolf Trossen is one of the Mosel’s most respected pioneers of organic and biodynamic viticulture. Located in the heart of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, the estate began converting to organic farming as early as the 1980s—long before it was fashionable—and later embraced full biodynamic principles. Working laboriously on steep slate vineyards, the Trossen family has become known for transparent, characterful Rieslings that foreground terroir and energy over technological winemaking. Their commitment to handwork, low yields and minimal intervention in the cellar has earned them a strong following among sommeliers and Riesling enthusiasts, and their wines are often cited as benchmark examples of naturally farmed, authentically made Mosel Riesling.
