If for some wine stands behind the best vintages none, it means that the wine's price is too high for its quality or the wine's quality is too low.

Pfalzs soils, very varied. Most sandy soil, but there is also clayey soil, lime, marl and volcanic soils.

 

Phenolic maturity, is a balance between the sweetness, the phenols (tannins and coloured pigments) and the tartaric acids. Phenolic maturity has a very great importance for the flavour and aging potential of the wine. For example, if the grapes have reached a perfect sugar maturity but have not reached a good phenolic maturity, they can taste astringent, bitter and unripe. Wines of such grapes have a poor aging potential and taste dry and unripe. (2017-06)
