Their father, Jürgen, was one of the first advocates for environmentally conscious agriculture, joining an important organic organization in 1994. However, it wasn’t until Daniel came into the winery in 2014 that they made the transition to organic viticulture. Starting with vintage 2018, they are certified organic. They are also pursuing parts of the biodynamic philosophies, with the very real desire to understand and integrate its principles, without necessarily blindly following the ideology. The brothers, for their own parts, have worked with a bevy of “who’s who” producers including Lise and Bertrand Jousset in the Loire, and Alwin Jurtschitsch in Austria’s Kamptal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the years since, the Brand brothers have quietly experimented more and more with 0-sulfur winemaking. Some were, right from the start, nearly perfect. The Pet-Nats are riveting, ultra-light testaments to what this region is capable of; in the already-saturated world of Pet-Nat, they have a dedicated following and disappear quickly. The rather long and eccentric list of 0-sulfur “Pur” wines that the brothers released with vintage 2018, reflects a lot of experimenting, both in the vineyards and in the cellars. It is still a work in progress, though a number of wines are already sure-footed and captivating, unique testaments to a world beyond Riesling. The “Wildersatz” field blend is saline and lemon pith; it is as vibrant as spring water. The Pinot Blanc Pur is classic, the high-toned florality and rounded curves flaunting the inherent breed of the grape. The “Cuvée Flora,” an old-vine Dornfelder cuvee, is one of the most riveting wines of the portfolio, in my opinion. An inky, jet-black red with the soul of an herbal red from the Loire, with all that moist dark soil, stones and herbal fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brand","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46333404905761,"sku":"210000013224","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/products\/img-0002_4f6babcd-d9c8-41c0-a5b5-3e63314ebaf5.png?v=1692039067"},{"product_id":"2025-von-winning-riesling-winnings-pfalz-germany","title":"2025 Von Winning Riesling \"Winnings\", Pfalz, Germany","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom vines mostly from Bichofsgarten in Bad Durkheim, though there is some fruit from Deidesheim in the blend.

In addition, these well-ventilated soils which warm up quickly allow the development of fruity wines rich in minerals and extracts.

The basalt found in the soils around Forst acts as a thermal reservoir, radiating warmth slowly during the night and thus reducing the daily variations in temperature. In addition, these well-ventilated soils which warm up quickly allow the development of fruity wines rich in minerals and extracts. In 1828, the King of Bavaria, who ruled the Palatinate at the time, conducted a soil survey of all vineyards: top Forst vineyards achieved the highest point scores between 55 and 65. The Forster Kirchenstück scored the maximum possible 65 points. At Eugen Müller, vines are a minimum of 15 years for all Pradikät wines, even if ripeness is achieved at a younger age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Müllers follow the guidelines of certified environmentally-friendly wine growing.

Red wines are fermented on their skins in stainless steel and then transferred to large oak casks. The only time the wine is handled after the first racking is to finish the wine by bottling.

Philipp David works alongside Martin Franzen, who is responsible for both vineyards and cellar. Martin originally comes from the Mosel, bringing experience as head of operations at Schlossgut Diel in the Nahe and at Gut Nagelsforst in Baden. Franzen joined the winery in 2002, taking over from legendary winemaker Hans-Günther Schwarz, who made Catoir a household name in Germany and abroad. Hans-Günther had a reputation as a great and friendly mentor to two generations of some of the best winemakers in Germany, Austria, and Alsace. Martin has continued this tradition and has become one of the most respected winemakers in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also one of the most beautiful wineries in Germany: a sandstone manor house, built in the 1890s, into the hillside in the village of Haardt. The beautiful estate overlooks some of the very finest vineyards in the Pfalz, in the villages of Haardt, Gimmeldingen, Mussbach and now Neustadt, where Catoir has started a new project in 2018, focusing on Pinot Noir, a variety that Martin feels will play a more important role as weather patterns change. Riesling is the main focus at Catoir and in the ripe vintages of the last decade, excellent dry wines as well as traditional prädikatswein are produced from excellent vineyard sites, including the monopole site Bürgergarten “Im Breumel”, a protected clos and Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) site inside of the Haardter Bürgergarten Erste Lage (Premier Cru). In addition to Riesling, Franzen has a deft hand with aromatic varieties. Often a range of estate quality, village level, and Erste Lagen Scheurebe and Muskateller are produced here; they are the finest examples of these varieties produced anywhere. Rieslaner is also a specialty here, and Martin makes outstanding sweet wines from this rare variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis area of the Pfalz is quiet and feels far away from the lively tourist town of Deidesheim. A majority of the holdings of the estate are on the hillsides, the most prized sections of vineyards sloping south and east. The diversity of soils are the basis for the different bottlings and single vineyards here, which range from red to yellow sandstone, loess and loam to shell limestone and gravel. The geologic diversity along with the variation of vineyard elevation and steepness allows for multiple styles to be produced at the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo show most clearly the differences between sites and different levels of quality, Müller-Catoir adopted a more holistic philosophy in the vineyards, beginning organic conversion in 2012 and completed their first certified organic vintage in 2015. When asked about the difference that he feels organic viticulture has made, Martin says that he finds the wines have “a deeper saltiness, a more mineral element, and more complexity”.  In the cellar, the approach is generally very hands-off, but the treatment of the fruit changes slightly vintage, by vintage. Minimal handling, spontaneous fermentations, mostly in stainless steel and long contact with the lees are the hallmarks of the style at this address. Every wine produced here is 100% estate grown and the treatment of each vineyard is the same, regardless of hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Müller-Catoir","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46333417652513,"sku":"210000014073","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/products\/img-0016_9ae30017-fa7d-429b-8aa0-2b9b6c8764a6.png?v=1692039106"},{"product_id":"von-winning-grainhuebel-riesling-gros-51945750","title":"2020 von Winning \"Kirchenstück\" Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Pfalz, Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly unique microclimate distinguishes the Kirchsenstück.

Von Winning maintains some of the oldest parcels in Grosses Gewächs vineyards smattered across Forst, Deidesheim, and Ruppertsberg. Attman’s every decision is informed by great enthusiasm and experiences at estates in the Cote d’Or and abroad. For example, Attman’s newer vines are planted at a very high vine density- 9500 vines per hectare, as opposed to the typically under 5000. This creates competition amongst the vines, forcing the roots to grow deep, naturally reducing yields. Attman has adopted the single cane trellising system, prevalent in Burgundy, and Grosses Gewächs wines ferment in 500mL French barrels.

Martin originally comes from the Mosel, bringing experience as head of operations at Schlossgut Diel in the Nahe and at Gut Nagelsforst in Baden. Franzen joined the winery in 2002, taking over from legendary winemaker Hans-Günther Schwarz, who made Catoir a household name in Germany and abroad. Hans-Günther had a reputation as a great and friendly mentor to two generations of some of the best winemakers in Germany, Austria, and Alsace.  Martin has continued this tradition and has become one of the most respected winemakers in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also one of the most beautiful wineries in Germany: a sandstone manor house, built in the 1890s, into the hillside in the village of Haardt. The beautiful estate overlooks some of the very finest vineyards in the Pfalz, in the villages of Haardt, Gimmeldingen, Mussbach and now Neustadt, where Catoir has started a new project in 2018, focusing on Pinot Noir, a variety that Martin feels will play a more important role as weather patterns change. Riesling is the main focus at Catoir and in the ripe vintages of the last decade, excellent dry wines as well as traditional prädikatswein are produced from excellent vineyard sites, including the monopole site Bürgergarten “Im Breumel”, a protected clos and Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) site inside of the Haardter Bürgergarten Erste Lage (Premier Cru). In addition to Riesling, Franzen has a deft hand with aromatic varieties. Often a range of estate quality, village level, and Erste Lagen Scheurebe and Muskateller are produced here; they are the finest examples of these varieties produced anywhere. Rieslaner is also a specialty here, and Martin makes outstanding sweet wines from this rare variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis area of the Pfalz is quiet and feels far away from the lively tourist town of Deidesheim. A majority of the holdings of the estate are on the hillsides, the most prized sections of vineyards sloping south and east. The diversity of soils are the basis for the different bottlings and single vineyards here, which range from red to yellow sandstone, loess and loam to shell limestone and gravel. The geologic diversity along with the variation of vineyard elevation and steepness allows for multiple styles to be produced at the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo show most clearly the differences between sites and different levels of quality, Müller-Catoir adopted a more holistic philosophy in the vineyards, beginning organic conversion in 2012 and completed their first certified organic vintage in 2015. When asked about the difference that he feels organic viticulture has made, Martin says that he finds the wines have “a deeper saltiness, a more mineral element, and more complexity”. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51112048951585,"sku":"210000019581","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/SSWINEBOTTLEPHOTOTEMPLATE_cb53b89a-217d-4d11-8c1e-1f028e561b31.png?v=1743704249"},{"product_id":"2020-von-winning-riesling-ungeheuer-grosses-gewachs-pfalz-germany","title":"2020 Von Winning Riesling \"Ungeheuer\" Grosses Gewächs, Pfalz, Germany","description":null,"brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51443692339489,"sku":"210000020122","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"2019-dr-burklin-wolf-wachenheim-r-riesling-trocken-pfalz-germany-1-5l-mag","title":"2019 Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Wachenheim R Riesling Trocken, Pfalz, Germany - 1.5L MAG","description":"\u003ch4 data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"585\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"586\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003eThe “R” bottling from the village of Wachenheim reflects Dr. Bürklin-Wolf’s commitment to terroir-expressive, dry Rieslings rooted in Burgundy-like principles of vineyard classification.
