The Pfalz lies between the Haardt mountains and the Rhine River in southwest Germany directly north of Frances Alsace region. As in Alsace the mountains protect the area from cold Atlantic weather making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany.Pinot Gris has a very long tradition in the Pfalz region. In fact it was here that the variety was first identified. Villa Wolf Pinot Gris is made in a full-bodied dry style with refreshing unoaked fruit and a crackling texture.
