Donnerlittchen! 30 km beim Wandermarathon auf dem Donnersberg

Alljährlich ist der Wandermarathon auf dem Donnersberg ein fester Termin in meinem Kalender. Diesmal stand die 30 km Strecke an.

Ja klar, das war nicht die volle Distanz und ich bin schon mal viel weiter gelaufen. Aber nach meinem Fahrradsturz im vergangenen Jahr bin ich froh, am vergangenen Samstag (06.05.2023) zumindest wieder die 30 km Strecke das Wandermarathons am Donnersberg 2023 bewältigt zu haben. Und wie schon die Male davor, war es auch in diesem Jahr ein tolles Erlebnis. Es sind die Leute und die Landschaft, die…

Que tal começar a semana com um Riesling alemão? 🇩🇪 Este é produzido pela @KoehlerRuprecht em Kallstadt, no Pfalz. 🍷 Coloração citrina clara. Aromas cítricos e florais, com um discreto toque petroláceo de fundo. Seco, com corpo leve e acidez moderada. Frutas cítricas e de caroço, e moderada persistência. 📝 Riesling simples, com pouca intensidade, boa tipicidade e frescor presente mesmo após 6 anos. VN 89pts . Este veio da @Prem1umWines faz bastante tempo… . #riesling #rieslinglover #pfalz #germanwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CkrT-9aJbzs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pfalz is for the Feinschmecker

“The Rheinpfalz Rieslings, especially, are as easy to drink with food as the fine white Burgundies of France” – Frank Schoonmaker, The Wines of Germany

Village of Birkweiler, Pfalz, Germany.

Standing at the edge of the vineyards in Forst, looking upward towards the Pfälzerwald, you could just as easily imagine yourself in Morey-Saint-Denis or Puligny. Like the Côte d’Or, vineyards face east over a plain, and some of the sites, most famously Forster Kirchenstück, are even surrounded by a Clos. Of course, this celebrated section of the Pfalz, between Kallstadt and Ruppertsberg, makes up only a tiny percentage of Germany’s second-largest wine region. The Pfalz has 23,684 hectares of vineyard (only Rheinhessen claims more). While Jesuitengarten, Ungeheuer, Pechstein, and previously mentioned Kirchenstück are planted almost entirely in Riesling, the leading producers of the southern Pfalz deliver some of Germany’s finest Spätburgunder and Weißburgunder. The Pfälzer celebrate their dry and full-bodied wines and their regional cuisine through a seemingly neverending series of festivals, making the Pfalz the region for the Feinschmecker.

As written in English, the Palatinate, a variation of Palast from the Roman Palatium, is the region’s historical name, covering more territory than the Weinanbaugebiet today. The wine region is an 85-kilometer stretch of vineyards running north to south, situated under the lee of the Pfalz Forest on the Haardt Mountains, a continuation of Alsace’s Vosges. Bad Dürkheim, Neustadt an der Weinstraße, and Landau are its three main cities and 130 villages between Bockenheim bordering Rheinhessen, and Schweigen bordering Alsace fall within two bereiche: the Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße and the Südliche Weinstraße. In former times, the divisions were Unterhaardt, Mittelhaardt, and Oberhaardt, but the construction of the Deutsche Weinstraße in 1936 (an idea conceived by the Third Reich to encourage economic growth) led to its current organization. The northern vineyards with ecclesiastical origins and classified in the 1828 Bavarian Land Registry were always historically more significant than the southern area, which until recently was Schoppenwein country, its wines served by the tankard in Weinstuben or sold in bulk, sometimes destined for the Mosel.

Back to the food-friendly style of its wines, the Pfalz climate is much like that of Alsace or Baden and is one of the warmest, sunniest, and driest wine regions in Germany. As in Alsace, its complex geology is the result of millions of years of upheaval and tectonic activity, with areas of sandstone, basalt, limestone, sand, gravel, and löss. A broad range of grape varieties can produce a whole lot of interesting results, and while Riesling is king with 6,000 hectares planted, Dornfelder, Grauburgunder, Müller-Thurgau, Spätburgunder are planted in significant quantities along with Portugieser, Silvaner, Weißburgunder, Gewürztraminer, Kerner, Chardonnay, Morio-Muskat and Sauvignon Blanc. All the variety is what’s needed to pair with the local cuisine. Saumagen, literally “sow’s stomach,” is stuffed with a mixture of pork, potatoes, and seasonings, while a variety of Würste become the snack of Weck, Worscht un Woi (bun, sausage, and wine). Dampfnudeln, potatoes, and sauerkraut are part of the regional fare, but as a wise wine merchant once said, Pfalz wine is easily at home with the finest cuisine.

Hannes & Claudiu

Hannes & Claudiu Rosso Pfalz, Germany 2022 Pinot noir

Hannes hails from a generation of German viticulturists who use organic and biodynamic farming. Methods such as tea based sprays are favoured over soil eroding copper sulphur mixture.

Cladiu is an Italian sommelier who puts serious care into his vinification. This dual faceted approach helps to channel the terroir of the Pfalz region - here the 30 year old vines grow into limestone and red sandstone soils.

This is a fresh, juicy, light and fruit forward Pinot noir with no trace of mushroom. Vanilla on the nose, it speaks of sour cranberries and moss.

Tasting notes: sour cranberries, candied raspberries, vanilla, moss

Pairing: chicken, vegetables, cheese
