Hammel

Pfalz dry wines: Spätburgunder, Riesling, and Merlot from Germany's warmest region.

Hammel produces wines from the Pfalz, Germany's warmest wine region, where continental conditions favor ripe fruit and dry styles. The winery's portfolio centers on three core expressions: Spätburgunder Trocken, a Pinot Noir variant that captures the region's capacity for structured red wines; Riesling Trocken, the aromatic white backbone of the Pfalz; and Merlot Trocken, which demonstrates the region's ability to ripen Bordeaux varieties. Each wine is vinified dry, reflecting a modern German approach that prioritizes fruit clarity and food compatibility. Falstaff has rated the Spätburgunder Trocken at 89.8 points, the Riesling Trocken at 89.2, and the Merlot Trocken at 89.0, positioning all three among the winery's prestige-rated releases.
