The Ockfener Bockstein, undoubtedly one of the most valuable Riesling sites in the world, rises majestically in a narrow side valley of the Saar. Its soils are characterized by skeleton-rich Devonian slate and barren greywacke. The result is delicately aromatic Riesling wines full of character that impress with their superb minerality and persistence.

A classic example of its genre. Notes of spontaneous fermentation, apple skin and fine stone fruit aromas on the nose. An exciting interplay of sweetness and acidity on the tongue, thanks to the low alcohol content a wonderful pleasure without remorse with an intense, animating finish.

Andreas Bender

Andreas grew up roaming the vineyards of the Mosel wherehis family were grafting vines. It is no surprise he beganmaking wine when he was 13! His wine experiences include time in the U.S., France, Italy and at Geisenheim University as a scholar inoenology and viticulture. Today he manages 35 hectares of his own vineyards. His grapes are picked and hand-sorted, to ensure the highest quality of juice. The unconventional use of retired oak barrels can be a bit hit ormiss, but for Andreas, it has been a hit. Andreas'contemporary attitude comes through in the Bender labeldesign and accessible, fun wines. He takes Pfalz andMosel's traditional grapes, cool climate, and slate soils and uses them to create impeccably balanced wines.
