In the glass

Summarised from the press reviews

Fresh aromas of yellow apple, pear and citrus, with a fine stony note. The palate is lean, bright and taut, with a light-footed drive despite 12.5% alcohol; made in stainless steel without skin contact, which emphasises the clear, immediate fruit.

Value for money

At around €12, the long-established estate in Haardt delivers entry-level quality here at a standard that many Ortsweine reach.

Goes well with

Flammkuchen, grilled vegetables with goat's cheese, cold Pfälzer Saumagen, asparagus with herb butter.

The estate

The estate in Haardt in the Mittelhaardt has been in family ownership since 1744 and is now run by Philipp David Catoir in the ninth generation. Its roughly 25 hectares lie on Haardt sandstone, Letten clay, loess, pebbles and Muschelkalk; the Große Lagen are Bürgergarten ›Im Breumel‹ and Vogelsang.
