Winery Story

The vineyards of the Pfalz Palatinate, protected from cold westerly winds by the Haardt Mountains, are located on the gentle slopes borderin... (more...)g the Rhine Valley. The almost Mediterranean climate and a certain southern flair characterize the landscape and the character of the happy people who live here. The Romans already recognized these advantageous conditions when they planted the first vines in this area. They called the Palatinate “God’s own wine cellar.” This beautiful country, where chestnuts and even figs, lemons and kiwi fruit ripen, is also the home of the Messmer wine estate. In 1960 Elisabeth and Herbert Messmer bought an old, traditional wine estate in Burrweiler and founded today’s Messmer Estate. Motivated by a love of their profession and noble wines, they created a successful estate with the best sites in Burrweiler. Their son Gregor and his wife, Sieglinde, the second generation, have been working as part of the team since 1984. With knowledge and sensitivity, they direct a very engaged and qualified team.

Tasting Note

The vineyards of the Pfalz Palatinate, protected from cold westerly winds by the Haardt Mountains, are located on the gentle slopes. This is... (more...) a complex, dry Riesling from the Pfalz region in Germany. On the nose are youthful aromas of fresh grass and a pleasant hay-like note with crabapple and light floral tones. In the mouth, it has racy, effervescent acidity with loads of green apple flavor and a light, clean finish.

Very dry, very tart, not whatI expected from a Riesling but not in a bad way. Very nice and refreshing.Subtle floral melony nose, and a strong medium yellow color.I kept thinking how good this would be paired up with sushi. That tartness works in its favor on the aftertaste which is nice and crisp.

Tart, mouth-filling, and refreshing, this was an unsweet and powerful riesling.
