The Balthazar Fry family settled in the fairytale village of Bergheim in 1748. For this winemaking family, the close relationship between grape variety, terroir, and climate is the essence of quality. Each cuvée is unique and reflects the terroir in its own way. They believe that only a living soil can convey the character of the terroir to the vine, and therefore, they are committed to environmental protection. The rolling hills and beautiful climate make Balthazar Fry wines a popular choice for a wide audience.
All wines from this estate are made as a single varietal, meaning with just one grape variety. And with that, this estate knows how to surprise you time and time again. The flavors are remarkably powerful, a result of the microclimate in which the grapes grow. The soil alternates between clay and limestone, and the temperature is mild. This gives the wine character and fruit. While traditional winemaking methods, such as the use of oak barrels for part of the aging process, are maintained, Balthazar Fry has invested in modern technology. This embrace of modern elements ensures that this wine ages gracefully.

A gourmet Gewürztraminer with a dry finish. Pair it with dishes featuring spicy sauces, smoked salmon, sweet and sour dishes, and strong cheeses.
