Located in the heart of the town of Bad Dürkheim, the Fitz-Ritter estate includes both the renowned VDP winery and the oldest Sekt (sparkling wine) production in the Pfalz. The extensive grounds with its neo-classical estate house, the historical gardens and the “RebArena” event location, lie surrounded by the “House Vineyard”, the Rittergarten and is a focal point in the local scene. The wines are a reflection of their distinctive origin . All 62 acres (25 hektar) of vineyards are farmed organically (EU-certified: DE-ÖKO-039) to ensure sustainability and natural purity. This includes famous vineyard names such as the Michelsberg, Herrenberg, Spielberg and the Monopol vineyard Abtsfronhof.
Undervalued and frequently mispronounced it offers a wealth of highly aromatic and diverse styles of white wine. Riesling can vary from bone dry, all the way through to lusciously sweet Beerenauslese (BA) and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). Its ability to age and transmit the terroir of the vineyard without losing its individual character places it amongst the most noble and academic of grape varieties. Germany is seen as Riesling's Old World home with the greatest concentration in the Mosel Valley, however, plantings have steadily increased across the border in the region of Alsace, France. Most Alsation Rieslings tend to be on the drier side. Even though some Grand Crus contain more sugar, they are still very refreshing and appetizing, due to a high level of acidity.

White wine is a wine whose color can be pale-yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-gold colored. The wine is produced from a variety of grape varieties. The flavor and color comes from the juice of the grape and sometimes the skin of the grape as well. Interestingly, not all white wine comes from white grapes. Some select red grapes are used as in Champagne.
