Von Winning

Under Heinz Bauer this estate was the destination of choice for a younger generation of winemakers in the Pfalz. Since the new owner Achim Niederberger, who already controlled Bassermann-Jordan and von Buhl, hired Stephan Attmann to look after the property, its star has taken on a new shine. Although the old Dr. Deinhard label still exists for certain wines, collectors should concentrate on the von Winning bottlings, which are modern interpretations of the traditional style. Some have criticized their use of smaller oak casks, often new, for riesling, but this estate's use of wood is increasingly discreet and the wines age with grace.
