Local favorite Weissburgunder-Grauburgunder dry

Weissburgunder and Grauburgunder complement each other here to create an uncomplicated, characterful white wine from the Palatinate — fresh, juicy and yet with substance.

Hammel & Cie winery is one of the established wineries in the Palatinate region, boasting a wide range of wines. Their "Lokalmatador" is an approachable entry point: a cuvée wine that prioritizes drinkability without sacrificing complexity.

The nose reveals ripe apple and pear, along with notes of white peach and a subtle hint of honey. On the palate, the strengths of both grape varieties come to the fore: the Pinot Blanc contributes freshness and a crisp acidity, while the Pinot Gris rounds it off with more body and a light creaminess. The finish is clean, mineral, and pleasantly short and dry.
