Description
Fine Weissburgunder from Rheinhessen. Weissburgunder, or the German Pinot Blanc, can sometimes be boring and monotonous. The Weissburgunder from Brüder Dr. Becker is however made in a fairly powerful style, aromatic yet elegant. Beautiful balance between citrus, nuts, minerals and body. Soft creamy with light tones of almond and an elle long finish. Classic wine food combination with e.g. Asparagus a la Flamande or a nice mountain of Moules Frites. Nevertheless very versatile!
Dienheim is a small area within Rheinhessen. The winery has been run for five generations, although the first generations did not make a direct living from wine growing. They loved this small wine village, the Rheinhessen way of life, and continued to expand the winery. Where the men did the preliminary work, the women took over from them. Today, the estate is run by the Pfeffer-Müller family, the daughter line of, and covers an area of 11 ha. The wine comes from the Dienheimer Tafelstein vineyards that extend over the terraces along the Rhine. Here they mainly grow Riesling and smaller plots of Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder, Sylvaner, Schreube and Spätburgunder.
For a few years now, they have also been carrying the PURE line, Full Vin méthode nature, Strict selection of grapes, spontaneous fermentation, unclarified, unfiltered and without the addition of sulphites. This development began within the winery almost 40 years ago. Weingut dr. Brüder Becker is therefore also one of the pioneers in organic and biodynamic viticulture in Germany and the first VDP winery with organic certification.
