Zelt

Pfalz winery balancing German tradition with Bordeaux-style reds.

Zelt produces wines from the Pfalz, Germany's warmest wine region, where continental climate and diverse soils support both classic German varieties and international grapes. The winery's portfolio spans the region's range: Kirschgarten Riesling captures the mineral precision and stone-fruit character typical of Pfalz Riesling, while Kirschgarten Spätburgunder—the German name for Pinot Noir—reflects the region's growing mastery of this elegant red. Trilogie, a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, demonstrates the ripening potential of the Pfalz's warm microclimate. Falstaff has rated these wines, recognizing their quality across both traditional and contemporary styles.
