If Alte Burg is the perfume, Bienenberg is the power. This is the Huber family's home vineyard in Malterdingen — slopes first planted to Pinot Noir by Cistercian monks almost 700 years ago, with this GG drawn from vines planted in the 1970s and 1980s. Julian Huber, who took over after his father Bernhard's death in 2014, has continued the late patriarch's Burgundian playbook: hand-harvested old vines, careful fermentation, long élevage in French oak. The result is a Grosses Gewächs (the German Grand Cru equivalent) with real bones — darker-fruited and more brooding than Alte Burg, with the kind of structure that asks for cellar time. Bernhard was nicknamed the Godfather of German Pinot, a close friend of Jacques Seysses at Dujac. This is the wine that earned the title.

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!
