Stefan Bietighofer, Grand Reserve, Chardonnay, Pfalz, Germany 2021

Stefan Bietighöfer. A man in his prime. An admirer of the finer things. An organic winemaker from the far reaches of the Südpfälz. Billigheim-Ingenheim, to be precise. A true German tiger — such as it were! His winemaking style: a dynamic blend of courage, innovation, experience, knowledge and intuition. His workplace: a healthy vineyard ecosystem rooted in a thriving soil and a near-ideal climate that encourages impeccable fruit. As for the wines — boisterous free thinkers from start to finish. Yet also expressive, with fantastic drinkability and influence of only the best oak. Come closer… he won’t bite!
