Region
Vineyard & Winemaking Notes
The Pfalz is bordered by the Rheinhessen on the north and to the south and west by France. The region is Germany’s second largest wine region by acreage and is the sunniest and driest of all German wine regions. The vineyards are planted in primary sandstone and volcanic soil and its climate is similar to Alsace, France. The word Pfalz is derived from the Latin word palatium, meaning palace.
