Steffi Weegmüller took this ancient family property to the very pinnacle of Pfalz estates, as has been recognised at home in Germany but also now in the U.S.A., where David Schildknecht has paid tribute to the quality of her wines. Quite literally next door to the famed house of Müller-Catoir, and sharing many of the same fabled vineyards, she offered a series of pristine, almost chiselled wines that unite Pfalz spice and generosity with manic purity and length. Sadly, 2020 was her last vintage in charge. As neither her, nor her sister Gaby’s, children had any interest in taking the estate over, they sold it to two Pfalz men, Gregor Hofer (formerly the GM of Bürklin-Wolf) and Jan Kubat, who will maintain the name of the estate. We shall see what the future brings!
