Philipp Bender

Mosel Pinot and Riesling with precision and mineral depth.

Philipp Bender works in the Mosel, Germany's most celebrated region for aromatic white wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Riesling and Pinot varieties—grapes that thrive in the region's steep slate vineyards and cool continental climate. The Blanc de Blanc Brut, made from Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), demonstrates the precision and mineral tension the Mosel imparts to sparkling wines. The Cuvée Pinot blends Spätburgunder and Weissburgunder, marrying the structure of dark-skinned Pinot with the brightness of its white counterpart. A dry Riesling rounds the core range, capturing the varietal's signature balance of fruit and acidity. Wine Advocate has rated these wines, recognizing their technical merit and regional character.
