Great depth from the sunny 22 vintage. Cherry drops, pretty, delicate fruit, lovely twisted acidity, and linear herbal mineral line holding it together. Breakfast, lunch, dinner? Brand Rosé!

Fifth-generation winemaker Daniel Brand first brought organic production to his Bockenheim family farm in 2007 and joined by brother Jonas, started producing wines without sulphur in 2014 (Pur). Riesling and Pinot Blanc dominate their collection, and they make wines with youthful attitude but also care and precision. Their 16 hectares are mostly on the windy Bockenheimer hillside, planted on loam with a lot of shell limestone. It is one of the coolest climate sites in the Pfalz.
