Wine for sale: Friedrich Becker

Friedrich Becker

In 1973, the family farm in the southern part of Germany’s Palatinate-Rhenan region was transformed into a vineyard. Over the years, the estate has developed steadily and now totals almost 14 hectares of vines. With the support of his son Frits and his sister Héléna, Friedrich Becker has earned a reputation for producing Pinot Noir cuvées that rank among Germany’s finest red wines. The Pinot Noir and Riesling vines, averaging 45 years of age, thrive on poor, stony, chalky soils with a high clay content. The vineyard is also protected from strong winds and rain by the Palatinate Forest which acts as a natural barrier. Yields are carefully controlled and a finely balanced viticulture is practised to produce high-quality, concentrated and fragrant grapes for exceptional wines.
