Fred and Florian Prinz's 12.6 ha Hallgarten estate, EU-organic and biodynamic-practising, working Jungfer, Schonhell and Hendelberg on the elevated Hallgarten slopes (around 270 metres).
Tasting: EU-organic, biodynamic-practising estate; tastings by appointment in Hallgarten, focused on Jungfer, Schonhell and Hendelberg.
Small open-air wine festival on the Marktplatz in Hallgarten, a village of Oestrich-Winkel, held every year on the first weekend of August. Seven wine stands and a Winzerhof are grouped around the square, all poured by Hallgarten winegrowers or the winegrowers' cooperative, with live music.
Fred Prinz at Hallgarten works the Hendelberg, Jungfer and Schoenhell to biodynamic principles, certified organic from 2013, with the cooler hill-village altitude shaping a sharper, savoury dry-Riesling style.
Tip: The Hallgartener Hendelberg GG is the wine to find; pair it with neighbour Peter Jakob Kuhn for a back-to-back biodynamic comparison.
