Pfalz | Palatinate
Sun Terroir • Diversity • Avant-garde
"Protected by the Haardt mountains, Pfalz is the region where the German sun shines brightest. Here, Riesling becomes opulent and Pinot Noir achieves a silky elegance, defining the new standard of contemporary German wine."
The German Tuscany
The Pfalz (Palatinate) region is, according to the German Wine Institute, the second largest wine region in the country. Thanks to the protection of the Palatinate forests, it enjoys an almost Mediterranean climate where even figs and almonds bloom.
In this selection from La Cava Shop, we explore the power of its dry whites and the finesse of its reds. The producers of the area, many of them integrated into the prestigious VDP Pfalz, have revolutionized the concept of dry Rieslings, giving them unparalleled body and structure.
"In Pfalz, the land speaks through an infinite geological palette ranging from red sandstone to basalt."
