Bastian Beny is heading a revolution in the Rheinhessen, having inherited conventionally-farmed vineyards that he has decided to rework in the ways of biodynamics. His vineyards flourish with life, both flora and fauna and the resulting wines are both full of exciting tension and packing ample weight & concentration of flavor.
There is nothing technologically-advanced about Beny's winery. Goats and other creatures roam the vineyards, the rows blossoming and crawling with all the right kinds of insects that create exciting and vibrant biodiversity. All of these things are designed - and have proven - to amplify the resulting energy in his wines, and to allow the grapes to naturally create what they should.
By virtue of hand-harvesting, small-lot fermentations and extended time on the lees, Bastian has found the balance necessary to complete his wines without any chemicals or filtrations. The wines have a natural density as a result, and are full of character and a bright streak of acidity.
Bastian will play with both Pet-Nats and a Champenois-method sparkling wine, and craft unfiltered, naturally-fermented still whites of Müller-Thurgau, Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc.
