Karl Pfaffmann

Pfalz producer of dry Riesling, Weissburgunder, and Dornfelder.

Karl Pfaffmann produces wines from the Pfalz, Germany's warmest wine region, where continental influences and sandy soils create conditions for ripe, expressive fruit. The winery works across the classic German palette: Riesling, the region's signature white, appears in the Selection Herrenberg Trocken—a dry expression that balances the variety's mineral precision with the Pfalz's ripeness. Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) shows similar dry-wine ambition in the Selection Hohenrain Trocken, delivering the variety's subtle stone-fruit character and textural weight. The Dornfelder Silberberg Trocken represents the winery's engagement with Germany's native red varieties, a dark-skinned grape that thrives in the region's warm climate. All three flagship wines have been rated by Falstaff, the influential German wine publication.
