“Our goal every year is to bottle this terroir without altering it”

Given this goal, biodynamics and cultivation by hand felt like obvious choices for the Seckinger brothers. They are pushing boundaries representing Pfalz in the global wine market. This is a winery built on family; three brothers and a support team of people who have been with them since they were in nursery.

Great attention to detail goes into expressing this terroir. Texture and structure are chosen over fruit, and harvests are guided by physical results rather than analytical targets. The results are a new style of German wine, one of experience and responsibility.

When it comes to winemaking, they want to eliminate outside tampering and allow their wines to sing. Fermentation is spontaneous in neutral oak barrels which adds structure without adding flavour. Elimination of outside elements, along with plenty of time in barrel, make the wines naturally stable.
