Trautwein: Pioneers of Organic Winemaking

Weingut Trautwein stands as one of the first organic wineries in the Kaiserstuhl region. Founded by Elfriede Trautwein and Hans-Peter in 1980, the winery transitioned to biodynamic practices in 2004. In 2019, Christoph and Ann-Christin Trautwein took over the family business, continuing the legacy of crafting exceptional wines with a commitment to sustainability.

At Trautwein, the passion for organic viticulture and the unique terroir drives every aspect of winemaking.

Ideal Conditions for Exceptional Grapes

Spanning over 12 hectares in the Emperor Chair region and an additional hectare in the Ahr Valley, Trautwein's vineyards benefit from a climate that boasts Mediterranean influences. The volcanic soil enriches the land, creating perfect conditions for growing high-quality grapes. The winery practices biodynamic farming, honoring seasonal cycles and the interconnectedness of nature. Key grape varieties include Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Muskateller, allowing Trautwein to produce a diverse range of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.

Burgundian Winemaking Techniques

Trautwein's winemaking approach is heavily inspired by Burgundy. Wines undergo spontaneous fermentation using the natural yeast present in the vineyards and cellar, ensuring authentic flavors. Maturation occurs in traditional wooden barrels sourced from Burgundy, which enhances the wines' complexity. With no additives, Trautwein wines maintain their natural character, showcasing the unique qualities of their terroir and vineyard. These wines have gained recognition in the market for their distinctive taste and craftsmanship.

We had the pleasure and “discovered” the TRAUTWEIN winery in 2023. Since then, every visit to the biodynamic winery has been a real highlight for us. The wines are simply outstanding and reflect the immense love and care that goes into their production. Every drop impresses with its quality and its unmistakable taste, which perfectly highlights the biodynamic principles. The winemakers themselves - Anne-Christin and Christoph Trautwein - are extremely nice and friendly. They share their passion for viticulture with great enthusiasm and manage to delight their guests with their warmth. The summer wine festivals at the winery are a special experience. They offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy the wines and delicious regional food in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. This winery and its wines are a true gem! A must for every wine lover 🍷🍇🥂

The organic Demeter winery Trautwein offers an excellent selection of wines that will delight every wine connoisseur. I was particularly impressed by their Cremant fruite, which stands out with its freshness and finesse. This sparkling wine (enjoy ice cold) impresses with a wonderfully fruity bouquet and a fine perlage that make every sip a pleasure. It is definitely my highlight among this winery's offerings. In addition to the great wines, Trautwein Winery creates an inviting atmosphere for wine tastings and even smaller concerts and on-site shopping. The courtyard is charming and offers the perfect setting to taste the wines in peace and enjoy the ambience. The combination of good wine and live music makes the visit an experience to remember! A visit to the site is worthwhile not only for the tasting, but also for shopping. The Trautwein family has a warm atmosphere combined with extensive knowledge to help you find the right wine for you. You can feel the Trautwein family's passion for their wines and the joy of sharing them with others. All in all, I can highly recommend visiting and shopping at Weingut Trautwein. The quality of the wines and the pleasant atmosphere on site make this place a real gem for wine lovers and connoisseurs.
