Pfaffmann Riesling Selection Kirchenstück dry

A Riesling that brings the power of its location directly into the glass: concentrated, mineral, with a lively freshness that never makes it feel heavy despite its substance.

The Karl Pfaffmann winery is located in Walsheim in the Southern Palatinate and has been cultivating vineyards around Nußdorf for generations. The Kirchenstück is one of the estate's best parcels – a calcareous sandstone soil that gives the Riesling its characteristic tension.

On the nose, ripe apricot and white peach, underpinned by a clearly defined mineral tone. On the palate, the true quality of this location is revealed: dense fruit, taut acidity structure, yet not a gram of excess weight. The finish is long and slightly salty – the Kirchenstück cannot be denied.

The Winery

Karl Pfaffmann

Walsheim, Southern Palatinate – Latitude 49°14'01", Longitude 8°07'20". Behind these coordinates lies a small village that hardly anyone knows at first glance, and that is exactly what makes it interesting. Here, between the Palatinate Forest and the Rhine plain, the Karl Pfaffmann winery grows its grapes – in a corner of the Palatinate blessed with plenty of sun, a mild climate, and deep soils.

The Southern Palatinate is one of the warmest wine-growing regions in Germany. You can tell by the wines: they have body, ripeness, and a directness that requires no long explanations. Karl Pfaffmann utilizes this potential and keeps returning to one fundamental idea – wine that tells the story of its origin.
