Although for years this estate's white wines could not measure up to their red brethren, that is no longer the case. Sure, the pinot noirs are in a class of their own, almost without peer in Germany, but both the pinot blancs and the rieslings are excellent this year. There are currently few other winemakers in the Pfalz who can hold a candle to Fritz Becker. Incidentally, with the border cutting straight through his vineyards, some of his finest sites are actually in France. But the wines they produce may be sold as German wines because the grapes are crushed there.
