Olympia Samara and Hannes Hoffmann farm about four hectares in Roßwag, a Württemberg village nestled in a bend of the Enz river, northwest of Stuttgart. She is Greek, he was born here; they met at Geisenheim, worked harvests from Burgenland to Napa, Santorini and Sonoma, then settled in 2014 on the half hectare planted by Hannes’s grandfather. The vineyard is spectacular: steep terraces held by dry stone walls on shell limestone (Muschelkalk). Certified Demeter since 2018, they do everything by hand, ferment spontaneously and add nothing, not even SO₂. « Our goal is to reveal the identity of Roßwag Lemberger: a wine of character, between power and freshness, that tells the story of our limestone terraces. » Lemberger (Blaufränkisch), Trollinger, Pinot Noir and Riesling here make wines of great mineral precision. They describe themselves simply as makers of fermented grape juice from Roßwag. « Roterfaden, » the red thread, connects every wine to these terraces.
