When it comes to German Riesling, the Pfalz (fahl-ts) region is more of a domestic secret. Locals tour the Wine Route (Weinstrasse) through small villages hosting festivals from spring to autumn when celebrants drink wine, not from tiny tasting glasses, but from half-liters. This Trocken is made along the Weinstrasse in Bockenheim, where the young Brand brothers, Daniel and Jonas, produce various wines from organic/Biodynamic vineyards covered by wildflowers and natural vegetation. This liter of racy, dry, lemony, piney, minerally Riesling goes well with weisswurst, knockwurst, ham, cured meats, potato dishes, and cabbage.
