Since 1996, the winery has been run by Steffen Christmann in the 7th generation. In 2004, the Christmanns finally committed themselves to biodynamic cultivation. The goal is to produce wines that are a reflection of the vineyard, taste like it and could not be produced anywhere else in the world. In harmony between vine, vineyard and winemaker, great wines of high individuality are created. The ideal conditions in the traditional Palatinate Mittelhaardt, warm enough for full-bodied wines and cool enough for elegance and a fine minerality, form the basis. In particular, the Grossen Lagen Idig, Meerspinne im Mandelgarten, Langenmorgen and Reiterpfad-Hofstück produce Grosse Gewächse that are consistently among the best in Germany.

About German Wines
Germany is the world’s northernmost fine wine producing region and thus requires its vines to endure some of the coldest temperatures. Fortunately, the country’s star variety, Riesling, does well in cooler climates and can survive even these freezing winters.
Germany Riesling is classified by ripeness at harvest which is also used to indicate the wine’s level of residual sugar. Picking earlier means the grapes have less time to ripen and the corresponding wines will be on the drier side; while picking later gives the grapes the opportunity full ripen and produce a lusciously sweet Riesling. The classifications from driest to sweetest: Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein (ice wine). While not as common to age white wines outside of Chardonnay, top tier German Rieslings can be aged for decades.
Other notable white grape varieties produced in Germany include Müller-Thurgau (a cross between Riesling and Madelaine Royale in the search for varieties that could withstand the extreme temperatures), Grauburguner (Pinot Gris) and Weissburguner (Pinot Blanc). The cooler German climate leads to earlier harvesting in general and gives German wines a distinctive character of higher acidity.
Historically red wine has always been harder to produce in the German climate. However, Pinot Noir grown in slightly warmer pockets of the country, has been highly successful in recent times. Going by the German name, Spätburgunder, German Pinot Noir can be elegant, structured and have vibrant acidity.
