Wine knowledge from the Palatinate – Terroir, grape varieties & sustainable viticulture

What makes a great Riesling? How do granite, limestone marl, colored sandstone, and slate shape a wine's character? And why are PiWi grape varieties like Cabernet blanc the future of sustainable viticulture?
In our wine knowledge section, we'll take you into the world of terroir, climate, soils, grape varieties, and Palatinate wine culture – straight from our family winery, established in 1788. At the same time, with a wink and Palatinate charm, we'll give you a glimpse behind the scenes of our winery. Enjoy our WineTalk!

Blanc de Noir - the misleading of beginners!

It should really be obvious. White wine is made from light grapes, and red wine from dark grapes. It's as simple as that. Or so you think. But then you stumble across Blanc de Noir. Literally "white from black" (the French exaggerated a little). It looks like a white wine, but is made from dark grapes. Great confusion! How is that supposed to work?
