Frank John Riesling Buntsandstein 2019

Frank John and the Hirschhorner Weinkontor are among Germany’s most renowned producers of biodynamic wine. In the historic tithe barn in Hirschhorn, wines are created with great craftsmanship, patience and a deep understanding of terroir. The John family works consistently according to biodynamic principles, harvests exclusively by hand and ferments the wines spontaneously in traditional wooden barrels. The result is elegant, finely structured and long-lived wines with exceptional balance. Rieslings and Spätburgunders in particular are considered the estate’s flagships and impress with precision, minerality and a clear, authentic style. Hirschhorner Weinkontor stands for wines that ideally combine tradition, sustainability and the highest quality standards.

The Pfalz is one of Germany’s largest and sunniest wine regions, protected by the Palatinate Forest and shaped by diverse soils such as sandstone, loess and limestone.

Along the German Wine Route, accessible, aromatic wines with Mediterranean flair are produced. Riesling is at the centre – from linear and citrus-fresh to juicy and powerful. Weißburgunder and Grauburgunder, Sauvignon Blanc and red varieties such as Spätburgunder and Dornfelder are also typical; a lively rosé and sparkling wine culture completes the picture.
