August Ziegler

Pfalz winery balancing Riesling tradition with Cabernet Franc ambition.

August Ziegler works in the Pfalz, Germany's warmest wine region, where continental conditions and sandy soils favor both classical German varieties and bold international grapes. The winery's portfolio spans Riesling, Weissburgunder, and Cabernet Franc—a range that reflects the region's dual character. The Biengarten Riesling carries the mineral precision and stone-fruit clarity expected of the variety in this terroir. Maikammer Mandelhöhe Weissburgunder Trocken, sourced from a specific vineyard site, expresses the dry, structured side of this Burgundian white. The Cuvée Augustus, built on Cabernet Franc, demonstrates the Pfalz's capacity for ripe, complex reds in its continental climate. Falstaff has rated wines from the portfolio.
