Mussbacher Eselshaut Spätburgunder Trocken
🍾 About the Producer
Established on January 6, 1902, as the Winzerverein Mußbach, Weinbiet Manufaktur is a distinguished winegrowers' cooperative nestled along the Mittelhaardt in Germany's Pfalz region. Named after the commanding 554-meter Weinbiet mountain, the cooperative unites dozens of member growers cultivating approximately 350 hectares across Mußbach, Gimmeldingen, and Haardt. The terroir is defined by the rain shadow of the Haardt hills, abundant sunshine, and a complex mosaic of soils rich in loess, loam, and Buntsandstein (red sandstone). Guided by FAIR'N GREEN sustainability standards, the estate emphasizes biodiversity and conscientious viticultural stewardship. In the cellar, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation preserves bright fruit purity, while premium cuvées benefit from aging in traditional large oak casks and small barriques. Benchmark bottlings include site-driven dry Rieslings, characterful Weißburgunder and Grauburgunder, and structured Spätburgunder from premier Mittelhaardt parcels such as the famed Mußbacher Eselshaut.
