Villa Wolf is the Pfalz estate of Mosel Riesling legend Ernst Loosen. The Pfalz region is in the Rhine river valley in southwest Germany, directly north of France’s Alsace region. The low-lying Haardt mountains protect the area from cold, wet Atlantic weather, making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany. Wine grapes do well here where it is possible to achieve full ripeness in every vintage. The predominant soil type in this area is well-drained, weathered sandstone. It produces wines with a fruit-driven purity and a stony structure.
Sustainably farmed according to strict German environmental regulations. Selectively picked by hand with no overripe or botrytis-affected fruit allowed. Fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tanks, with malolactic conversion blocked in order to maintain lively acidity. Light filtration before bottling. No other filtering or fining. – Suppliers notes
