Wolf Birkweiler Pfalz Cuvée Kurt

Estate Overview

**Weingut Wolf**, based in **Großkarlbach** in the **Pfalz** region of Germany, is a family-run winery known for its commitment to quality and innovation. The **Cuvée Kurt #3** is a testament to this philosophy, blending eight grape varieties across two vintages to create a fresh, approachable white wine that challenges the notion of the traditional “Schoppenwein” (liter wine).

Terroir

The vineyards are situated in the **Pfalz** region, benefiting from a warm, sunny climate and diverse soils, including limestone and loess. These conditions are ideal for cultivating a variety of grape types, allowing for the creation of complex and balanced blends like the Cuvée Kurt #3.

Winemaking

The **Cuvée Kurt #3** is crafted from a blend of eight grape varieties: **Chardonnay, Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), Kerner, Riesling, Silvaner, Scheurebe, Sauvignon Blanc, and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc)**. Grapes are hand-harvested and vinified separately, with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is unfiltered and unfined, preserving its natural character and freshness. Notably, it combines two vintages, adding depth and complexity to the final blend.

Tasting Notes

On the palate, the wine is **juicy and fresh**, with a lively acidity and a touch of creaminess, leading to a well-rounded and harmonious finish. The blend offers a delightful balance between fruitiness and structure.

A vibrant and approachable white blend—fresh, aromatic, and well-balanced, showcasing the diversity and quality of the Pfalz region.
