Brand Riesling Trocken Pfalz 2023 [1L]

Brand Riesling Trocken Pfalz 2023 [1L]Daniel and Jonas Brand have brought their youthful energy to their family estate and, by proxy, have transformed the entire region of the Pfalz into something more energetic and exciting. Their commitment to organic farming and low sulfur bottlings have changed the perception of German wine in Germany as well as the US. This bone dry Riesling uses far less sulfur than the typical Riesling gives it even more directness and freshness without losing any

organic viticulture

The Bruniers make this wine in large old oak foudrè with no temperature control

and they represent what the first settlers were planting to drink

and it's made me want to buy a plane ticket and take a nice long vacation there

and sea salt

and it never gets old

The high-toned blood orange acidity works incredibly well with the black cherry and blackberry flavors that dominate the palate

The Petite Nature is a blend of negociant grapes with 30 year old muscat petit grain making up the majority of the blend

Hybrid grapes that have both native American disease resistance and European wine grape parentage help solve this problem without aggressive fungicide sprays

Martin and Anna Arndorfer's Rosa Marie has been one of my all-time favorites in the 'darker rosé' category for four or five years now

while simultaneously helping them to find an audience more globally

It's the perfect “gourmand” wine: snappy and fresh pomegranate and lavender aromas
