Pflaz
The Pfalz region long known for its simple inexpensive wines produced in large quantities, has recently begun a trend back towards low yielding, high quality vines.
A new generation of young, highly-educated wine growers has noticed the world's desire to experience intensely flavourful, robust wines, and therefore has reversed the trends of this region.
The Pfalz is the largest wine producing region in Germany and boasts many small producers whose commitment to quality is beginning to renew the region's reputation for producing excellent wines.
