Brothers Daniel and Jonas Brand work the lesser-known far-northern Pfalz, around the village of Bockenheim, where the soils turn cool and limestone-rich and the feel is gritty and agricultural rather than polished. The Electric Acid Test is exactly what its name promises: a no-nonsense natural white built on piercing acidity and bright citrus lift. It is mostly Chardonnay with a splash of Riesling, organically farmed without synthetic pesticides, made with a hands-off, low-sulfur approach. The 2025 is tart, crisp and a little funky but very approachable. Serve it well-chilled as a wake-up-call aperitif or an all-purpose dinner white.

More about Brand Bros

Founded in 1891, the Brand winery has been producing wine in the Pfalz for five generations. However, the Brand brothers are electrifying their little town and this forgotten region. And they are doing so with huge smiles and a raucous joy in their role as stewards for the land.

Their vineyards are located on limestone-rich soils around the village of Bockenheim, in the northern part of the region, along the border of the Rheinhessen. Daniel and Jonas' father, Jürgen, always farmed their vines responsibly, but when his children took over, they immediately transitioned to organic viticulture, gaining certification in 2017.

It’s a rather curious blend of youthful exuberance, a surplus of energy and an unflappable belief in the future of viticulture in their vineyards, tempered by a maturity that is surprising given their ripe ages of 26 and 30. The Brothers Brand also utilize biodynamic treatments, always experimenting to discover which practices work best in their vines. All of their wines are made with little, if any, added sulfites.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
