Pfalz
The Pfalz - known as the Rheinpfalz until 1992, and the ‘Palatinate’ in English - is the second largest wine region in Germany after Rheinhessen and is often the biggest in terms of production. Its temperate climate is the sunniest and driest of all the German wine regions.
The vineyards that make up the Pfalz stretch from the southern limits of Rheinhessen near Worms down to the French border at Wissembourg. Covering a substantial 23,000ha, they follow the contours of the Pfalzer Wald forest for nearly 80 uninterrupted kilometres.
The Pfalz produces very pleasant, soft, full-bodied white wines with a rich bouquet. There is a staggering 45 white grape varieties grown here but the most common are Riesling (21%) and Müller-Thurgau (21%) with Kerner, Silvaner and Scheurebe also widely found. The Pfalz produces smooth, fruity reds from the local Portugieser and Dornfelder varieties as well as Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) which accounts for more than 30% of red plantings. The soils vary greatly - from loess and decomposed layered sandstone through to isolated islands of shell limestone, marl, granite, porphyry and clay-slate - and such variation is reflected in the character of the wines.
This is arguably Germany’s most exciting, and also most environmentally aware, wine region. Well over 100 estates work in accordance with organic principles and an impressive number of them have fulfilled the stringent criteria for becoming officially certified. Pfalz was also the first German region to have a ‘Deutsche Weinstrasse’ (German Wine Route) winding its way through its vineyards and villages, and inspired many more. One of the cities along the Weinstrasse is Neustadt, which holds a famous wine festival every October where the German Wine Queen is crowned.

Description
Weingut Eymann is a family-run estate in the heart of the Pfalz. The vineyards are planted on the Upper Rhine terrace on soils formed during the last Ice Age. Sustainability remains at the core of the estate’s philosophy, with organic and biodynamic certification since 1982 and 2006, respectively. Today the estate is run by dynamic, young winemaker Vincent Toreye, who recently succeeded his parents.
The nose is full of concentrated and richly scented fruit, with aromas of apricot, peach-stone and lime. This wine is wonderfully textural from time spent on its lees. Glossy ripe fruit on the palate is coupled with crystalline acidity and a distinct minerality which leads to a persistent and refreshing finish. Drink now to 2022.
