Schneider

Markus Schneider from Ellerstadt in the Palatinate region
is today one of the most famous winegrowers in Germany. Less than 25 years ago, his father delivered the little bit of red and white wine he had to the cooperative society. Today, almost 100 hectares of vineyards are turned into red, white, rosé and sparkling wine in the
Markus Schneider winery.

HOLY MOLY

Manual harvest of ripe and healthy grapes followed by traditional mash fermentation over a period of 18 days. After pressing, the wine matured at a constant cool cellar temperature for 14 months in new and perennial wooden barrels of various formats and again for 22 months in the bottle.

Dark ruby red. The bouquet is highly aromatic and dominated by a potpourri of dark forest berries. On the palate, there is a concentration of the aromas in their purest form. Compact, concentrated, reduced – truly a bomb in a wineglass. Certified vegan.

Region

The Pfalz (also known as the Palatinate) wine region is one of Germany’s largest and most celebrated wine-producing areas. Located in southwestern Germany, the Pfalz stretches along the eastern edge of the Haardt Mountains, a continuation of the Vosges Mountains from France, which provides an ideal microclimate for viticulture. The region benefits from a sunny, mild climate that helps produce ripe, full-bodied wines, particularly known for their richness and approachability.

Climate & Terroir

The Pfalz has one of the warmest climates in Germany, with nearly 2,000 hours of sunshine per year. This allows grapes to achieve full ripeness, producing wines that are often richer, more fruit-forward, and higher in alcohol than those from other German regions. The soils in the Pfalz vary widely, from sandstone and limestone to clay, gravel, and loess. This diversity allows winemakers to cultivate a variety of grape types suited to different soil compositions.

Ideal drinking temperature 16° Celsius.
