Wines Palatinate Dengler-Seyler - 2021

The 2021 Dengler-Seyler from the Pfalz region is a dry white wine that exemplifies the elegant and vibrant style for which this part of Germany is renowned. While the specific grape variety is not stated, Pfalz whites are often crafted from Riesling, although Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), and Silvaner are also common in the area, especially for wines labelled simply as "Weisswein" without further varietal detail. Expect a wine that showcases freshness, lively yet balanced acidity, and precise fruit expression—think white peach, green apple, and perhaps hints of citrus or subtle floral tones, depending on the blend and the winemaker’s approach. The 2021 vintage in Germany experienced a cooler growing season, generally resulting in wines with vibrant structure and aromatic intensity.

The Pfalz is one of Germany's warmest and sunniest wine regions, running parallel to the French border and the Vosges mountains, which offer shelter from excessive rainfall. Its soils are notably diverse, ranging from sandstone and limestone to clay, encouraging a broad spectrum of wine styles. Historically, Pfalz has been a heartland for dry wines, frequently with a generous, fruit-led character and an appealingly rounded profile. Its winemaking tradition stretches back to Roman times, contributing depth and a cosmopolitan edge to the local wine culture.

To make the most of this Pfalz dry white, it pairs beautifully with a wide variety of dishes. Classic German pairings include roast pork, baked fish with dill, or schnitzel, as well as lighter offerings such as green salads with goat cheese, asparagus, or roasted poultry. It also complements regional specialities like saumagen or a savoury flammkuchen with onions and bacon. For more adventurous palates, Asian-inspired cuisine—especially sushi or mildly spiced Thai salads—works well with the refreshing acidity and ripe fruit of the wine.

For serving, chill the bottle to around 8-10°C. This temperature will allow the wine’s aromatic expressiveness and texture to shine while preserving its crispness and invigorating finish. Enjoy it young for maximum vitality and purity.
