Hammel & Cie In The Mood for Müller-Thurgau dry

Müller-Thurgau has a tough time of it — undeservedly so. With this wine, Christoph Hammel shows what the grape variety is capable of when given time and oak aging.

The Hammel & Cie winery is located in Kirchheim an der Weinstraße, in the heart of the Palatinate region. The Hammel family has been making wine for generations, and Christoph Hammel is considered a maverick in their portfolio: he actively seeks out underrated grape varieties and unusual vinification methods. "The Mood for Müller-Thurgau" is one such experiment—fermented in large wooden barrels and aged on the lees for several weeks.

The result is fuller-bodied than a typical Müller-Thurgau: lees aging gives the wine texture and a slightly creamy finish. The nose offers aromas of mace, ripe pear, and a hint of beeswax. On the palate, subtle spice, medium acidity, and a longer finish than one would expect from this variety.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Goes well with tarte flambée with crème fraîche, pasta with lemon sauce, or as an uncomplicated accompaniment to Asian summer rolls.

Weingut Hammel & Cie

Since 1723, the Hammel & Cie winery in Kirchheim an der Weinstraße has been one of the reliable addresses in the Palatinate – today, Christoph Hammel is already running the business in the ninth generation. You can feel almost three centuries of family tradition in every bottle: this is not about short-term trends, but about consistency that has grown over generations.

On 42 hectares around the historic village center of Kirchheim, Riesling, Burgundy varieties, Sauvignon Blanc, and now also Grüner Veltliner grow – and in one of the mildest climate regions in Germany. This special warmth, combined with the diverse soils of the Palatinate, gives the grapes a ripeness that you can taste in the end in the glass. In the vineyard, the family sticks to proven traditions; in the cellar, they consciously rely on the targeted use of steel and wood to give each grape variety exactly the framework it needs.

The result is wines with a clear signature and aromatic fruit that deliver exactly what the family itself formulates as its leitmotif: to bring joy. Whether for an uncomplicated evening or a special occasion – at Hammel & Cie you will find wines that combine tradition and Palatinate joie de vivre in a completely natural way.
