Under the management of Bastian Klohr,<br />

the Weinbiet Manufaktur has evolved<br />

into one of the most extraordinary<br />

cooperative business models. More than 50<br />

members farm 325 hectares of vines together.<br />

“We proudly carry the name of the 554m/1818ft<br />

high mountain that majestically sits above us,<br />

lending its protection,” the cooperative reports<br />

which has a cellar master in Patrick Öttl who<br />

knows how to lend a contemporary interpretation<br />

to Pfalz wine culture. The Philipp-Bassler-<br />

Series represents the top wines, like the mineral<br />

Riesling from 70-year-old, ungrafted vines.<br />

There is much dynamism here!<br />

Riesling trocken<br />

The multi-layered nose already indicates that this wine will<br />

occupy the palate: citrus fruit, grapefruit and passion fruit on<br />

the nose, also ripe peach. The palate is juicy with a nice spiciness,<br />

the acidity is balanced and delicate, the minerality has<br />

depth. 13 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

on the palate, a pithy and strong Pfalz wine with distinctive<br />

tannin and lots of spice and pepper. 14 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />
