Common to all of them is their incredible drinkability, which quickly empties the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUli Metzger from Asselheim in the Northern Palatinate is a true Palatinate native. Viticulture has a 100-year tradition in the Metzger family. In 2010, he took over his parents' business, Weingut Metzger in Asselheim near Grünstadt in the Palatinate. For 23 years, he had already been working at the previously unknown winery. At that time, the family owned nearly 20 hectares of vineyards in good and very good locations with pronounced limestone soils; today, it is 45 hectares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeingut Metzger – A Cattle Points the Way\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd although Uli Metzger had long been responsible for both vineyard work and winemaking at the winery, producing good quality wines, success was slow to come. It was only with the redesign of the wine labels that the wine world took notice of Metzger wines. The idea to focus on the family name Metzger and prominently display it on the bottles came from the next generation at Weingut Metzger, from daughter Lea Metzger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, a distinctive cattle, and sometimes even a flying pig, adorns the wine label, an unmistakable trademark. To make it easier for customers to find the right wine for them, the quality levels of Gutswein (estate wine), Ortswein (village wine), and Lagenwein (single vineyard wine) were also named with terms like Flanke (flank), Pastorenstück (pastor's piece), and Filet (fillet), i.e., butchery terms. This makes it easy to navigate Weingut Metzger's product range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, Uli Metzger caused a sensation by winning 1st place in the German Red Wine Award in the Spätburgunder category with his Arthos, and at the same time, 2nd place in the Cuvées category with his Dry Age. Since then, top ratings and awards have poured in. Mundus Vini, Gault Millau, Vinum, Der Feinschmecker – no one can ignore the wines of Weingut Metzger anymore.

A cuvée in the French style, but with its own Palatinate character! All participants give their best, including the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, and winemakers Lea and Uli Metzger, of course.

The deep, almost black color immediately catches the eye and then continues its flavor in the mouth. An abundance of red berry fruits, tobacco, and a hint of bell pepper perfectly complement its almost ethereal side and delight with every sip! It rages powerfully on the palate.
