Grape Varieties

The Riesling is a classic, award-winning wine and considered the “king of the white wines.” Especially here in the Palatinate region, people hold fast to the motto “Riesling is not just Riesling!” Its complex maturation processes as well as its variegated exotic and acidic aroma profiles make every time you enjoy a Riesling an unforgettable experience. Wine lovers can expect to indulge in a fruit cocktail of green apple, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit, and green grass.

The Grauburgunder, also known as “Pinot Gris”, is an excellent accompaniment to roast dishes. This grape variety, which is pleasantly low in acidity, accounts for about 4 percent of the cultivated area in the Palatinate. Nuances of yellow pear, apricot, honeydew, almond, and walnut create the wine’s characteristic taste.

Although the Spätburgunder covers only 7 % of the overall acreage, its importance on the wine market has been growing steadily. Thanks to its long aging in the barrel, the wine impresses with its distinct bouquet. The Spätburgunder, also referred to as “Pinot Noir”, regularly ranks high in wine contests. Its aromatic composition comprises a blend of red berries including strawberry, cherry, and raspberry in combination with aromatic nuances ranging from subtle hints of rosemary and pepper to notes of clove, cinnamon, vanilla, almond, and hazelnut.
