| Description: | The Villa Wolf Winery. Founded in 1756, the J.l. Wolf estate (now called Villa Wolf ) was a successful and highly. regarded winery for more than two centuries. Ernst Loosen, owner of the Dr. Loosen estate,. took over the winery in 1996, launching a dramatic revival of the estate's quality and reputation. The Villa Wolf varietal line-up features exceptionally affordable, classic Pfalz wines. made from traditional grape varieties. The Pfalz Region. The Pfalz (aka ‘Palatinate') region is in the Rhine river valley in southwest Germany, directly. north of France's Alsace region. The low-lying Haardt mountains protect the area from. cold, wet Atlantic weather, making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany. The. predominant soil type in this area is well-drained, weathered sandstone. It produces wines. with a fruit-driven purity and a stony structure. Villa Wolf Pinot Gris. The Pinot Gris variety was first identified in the Pfalz region, and Germany is second only. to Italy in acres planted. Villa Wolf Pinot Gris is made in a full-bodied, dry style with fresh,. unoaked fruit and a crisp texture. It is an excellent partner for salmon, chicken or pork. The 2018 Vintage. The growing season in the Pfalz started early and the summer was very hot and dry, which. led to an early harvest. The yields were excellent compared to the small 2017 vintage, and we. were very happy to have such healthy grapes and high quality. The 2018 harvest period was. unproblematic and quite smooth. Because of the dry weather conditions and the healthy. state of the grapes there was no need to rush, giving us time for careful selection and very. gentle handling in the cellar. Technical Info.
