Fall 2019 USA Selection Dear Customers - Dear Wine Lovers Fall 2019 USA Selection Dear customers - dear wine lovers - The world-famous wine writer Hugh Johnson recently said: “Wine has never been as good as today.” We wholeheartedly agree with his opinion: Besides science and technology, the education of the world’s winemakers have reached a level never seen before. In addition to this, we have enjoyed some wonderful vintages in recent years. 2018 is a perfect example of this, when vineyards all over the world pro- duced excellent quality grapes and satisfying yields. 2019 is also showing great promising! Still, this is no excuse for us at BASF Wine Cellar to rest on our laurels: We strive to find the excellent wines out of the many good wine for our customers. In this setting, the wines select- ed as “BASF Exklusiv” have a special status as they are bot- tled and labeled exclusively for BASF Wine Cellar in Lud- wigshafen. We are excited to present the new “Monstrous Riesling” pro- duced exclusively for BASF by the winery Lucashof from the historic Forster Ungeheuer vineyards. We also have a new im- pressing Reserva Limitada from the Portuguese winery Ugar- te, as well as the just released 2018 Grainhübel Großes Gewächs Pinot Noir (grand cru) from Bassermann-Jordan. All are top quality wines with interesting concepts that have been smash hits for the Wine Cellar in Germany and abroad. Wishing you a lot of enjoyment when tasting the wines! Bernhard Wolff Head of the BASF Wine Cellar 3 Pfalz It was indeed the Mediterranean landscape, mild climate and warm, well-drained soils, where figs and lemons flourish, fruit trees abound, and tobacco, chestnuts, walnuts and almonds are harvested, that convinced the Romans to build so many villas in the Pfalz. Each mansion had of course its own wine- pressing hall. During the reign of Charlemagne over the “Holy Roman Empire” the Pfalz was his wine cellar, supplying not only the emperor’s table wines as well as the coronation wine. As one moves south along the “German Wine Route” through this veritable Garden of Eden, the number of castles increases and the landscape becomes more rugged and diverse. The region has always been considered the vegetable and fruit belt of Germany, which besides the influence of neighboring France, has led to its being the culinary capital of the country. There are various Michelin and Gault Millau rated restaurants and many other exciting surprises waiting for the tourists to discover. The Riesling grape predominates in some parts of the Pfalz, producing very big and powerful wines with flowery overtones. These wines often have a dry finish and are decidedly preferred by local restaurateurs, who serve them to great advantage with modern German cuisine. In other parts of the Pfalz, the clasical Burgundy family of grape varieties has been planted with great success. At the present time many younger wine-growers are focusing on the production of remarkably fruity Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) red wines. Dessert wines with great depth of character and nuances of exotic fruits are also characteristic of the Pfalz. 3 Wine $ Description 2018 $ 16.00 dry Riesling The little town of Kallstadt is situated in the 8-10 °C Kallstadter winegrowing region Pfalz in Germany, on the 3-5 years Steinacker Riesling BA_KSK18 German Wine Route.

Kimich The Riesling grapes are from the vineyard Deidesheimer Langenmorgen which is situated on eastward facing slopes with intensive early sun- shine and cooling down period in the afternoon on red sandstone soils. The name (Langenmorgen) consists of two parts. ‘Lange’ refers to its longish shape and ‘Morgen’ to a formerly used measure of land. This Riesling is a fresh, almost sparkling wine with typical aromas of citrus and juicy peach.

This Grauerburgunder is a perfect representation of Gies Duppel’s fine vineyard soil and the restrictive selection process – clean aromas of ripe apples, al- monds and a lingering, well balanced finish. 2018 $ 19.00 dry Weiß- Founded in the 1960ies by Edmund Lucas, the Lu- 8-10 °C Weißburgunder burgunder cashof winery also manages the vineyards of the 3-5 BA_LPB18 years (Pinot Blanc) nearby parish winery.

    German Wine Route Route 8 5 Stops Germany’s wine-making history goes back thousands of years, and the fact that there are 13 distinct wine regions in the country mean your options for a glass broaden far beyond the flagship Riesling. Suffice it to say, on the German Wine Route your oeno-knowledge will deepen considerably. It’s a compact 52 miles, but it packs in museums dedicated entirely to wine, barrels big enough to get lost in, castles you will get lost in, and hundreds of chances to put your lips to a fresh varietal you might just fall in love with. Here’s where your palate will take you. MATADOR network in paid partnership paid in with Credit: Shutterstock/nnattalli Stop 1 on German Wine Route The Dürkheim Barrel, Bad Credit: Shutterstock/Ivan Vasylyev This remarkable landmark—known as the “Heart of the German Wine Route”—was built in 1934 by Fritz Keller, a cooper and vintner who created the giant barrel from 178 boards of wood around 50 feet in length. With a diameter of some 45 feet, the barrel could potentially hold 1.7 million liters of wine—but instead it hosts a wine bar and restaurant serving a range of local and German wines and typical Palatinate cuisine. There’s also a rustic wine cellar with room for around 150 additional guests. Officially the world’s largest wine barrel, it’s located at the edge of Bad Dürkheim’s handsome town square (Brühlwiesen), where the world’s largest wine festival, the Wurstmarkt, takes place every September.

It is commonly believed that in Germany there is no such thing as a place where the climate is mild, the landscape is dotted with hills, vineyards and woods and offers stunning views, and locals know how to enjoy life and welcome you with a smile. The Pfalz looks very much like the land it is covered with: very few corners, a lot of sweet curves. A horizon of vineyards extending from the valley to the hills and, to the west, the forest beyond. To the east, the Rhine’s vast riverbed. The main city, Neustadt an der Weinstraße, is a true gem, lying half-way between the border with Alsace, to the south, and the elegant and busy Frankfurt to the north.
