Weinberghof Fritsch

With his wild mane, moustache and pointed beard, Karl Fritsch would look right at home on the streets of Berkeley. In fact, he was born in 1968 when things were bubbling on the West Coast. In that same vein, he was one of the first and remains today one of the most zealous ambassadors of biodynamics in the country, having found the light in 2006 under the tutelage of Andrew Lorand. Producing only 130,000 bottles a year from his 25 hectares of vineyards, he also buys organic grapes for a second label that he calls Windspiel. Almost 60% of that is exported. While I would maintain that he does make the best rieslings in the region, over half of his production is nonetheless grÃ¼ner veltliner, which remains everybody's darling.
