The familiy’s 11 hectare vineyards are surrounded by orange and almond trees in the surprisingly warm, temperate climate of Pfalz. Hand harvested grapes spend 9 months in large old oak barrels. Bottled without filtration. Food pairing: Versatile. game, red or white meats, sausages, ham, grilled/roasted veggies, mushroom dishes, etc.
