The Pfalz, a region in western Germany, is known for its diverse range of wines, particularly its dry Rieslings. The area's rolling hills and varied soil types, including sandstone, loess, and limestone, create a terroir that is often more generous than the steep slate slopes of the Mosel. While Riesling is a focus, the Pfalz also produces excellent Pinot Noir, and a range of other varieties. The wines from this area are often known for their rich texture, vibrant acidity, and a core of pure fruit, giving them a clear sense of the place.
