Bernhard Wolff Head of the BASF Wine Cellar

Wishing you a lot of enjoyment when tasting the wines!

Dear customers -dear wine lovers -

Salvador Dalí once said “True connoisseurs do not just drink wine, they taste secrets.”

One of these secrets can be found in our newest US wine list, in the fantastic 2015 Liebfraumilch from Christoph Hammel. Christoph Hammel was raised in the Pfalz region where using the traditional German grape varieties of Müller-Thurgau, Scheurebe and Kerner. He has created a high quality wine to restore the Liebfraumilch line and you will not be disappointed when you taste this fresh new spirit in the Liebfraumilch of the Hammel winery!

The Liebfraumilch is not the only secret of the Hammel winery. There is also Gransecco a beautiful sparkling rosé with a modern and distinctively creative label. This sparkling wine will delight you with its freshness and intense aromas of raspberries and cherries. Perfect for summer evenings with friends and family. Proving once again that it’s not only the Italians that can produce a great Prosecco.

Though new to our cellars, the winery of Salomon Undhof is no secret, however their Gruner Veltliner from the region Kremstal is a secret we are sharing with you. The wines of Salomon Undhof are very famous and are found on the finest tables all over the world. Not surprisingly in 2016 “Wine & Spirits” Magazine named them one of the 100 top wineries in the world.

Spanish red wines are on the rise and enjoying a real popularity. For this offer, we selected three new Spanish reds, the 2015 Pla Cazada, the 2015 Garnacha Marcial and our BASF Exklusiv 2014 TT Telmo Rodriguez from the Toro wine region.

The BASF wine cellar takes great pleasure in supplying our wines to friends and colleagues the world over. Our commitment to quality ensures a consistently high standard our clients have come to expect.

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 but the coronation wine as well. 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 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.

Riesling Are you a fan of Asian food? Then this off-dry Riesling will be a good choice for you! Low levels of alcohol and a hint of residual sugar make this wine a perfect partner for the delicate flavors and spiciness of the Asian cuisine.

It is gene-rally agreed by all wine experts that the vineyards surrounding Deidesheim have some of the best Riesling-terroirs worldwide! This wine shows aromas of ripe fruit like sweet apricot, peach and red apple. You can also smell a hint of honey. In the mouth there is some sweetness, which is nicely balanced by a refreshing acidity.

Around the turn of the 19th century the German wine Liebfraumilch was considered to be among the best wines of Europe. Many unscrupulous wine producers took advantage of this German wine’s popularity and produced poor quality wines ruining the reputation of the original Liebfraumilch product.

Christoph Hammel, a wine producer and enthusiast wishing to restore the “Liebfraumilch Icon” produces a high quality Liebfraumilch combining the traditional German grape varieties Müller-Thurgau, Scheurebe and Kerner. The result is a white wine cuvee that im-presses with typical and rich fruit aromas, a well-bal-anced, harmonious acidity and a complimentary, delicious sweetness.

Riesling How does it taste when the German grape Riesling is vinified at a Palatinate estate by a Japanese enologist? If you want to experience this intercultural exchange you should try this wine! It comes from the well-known wine-village of Deidesheim, where the winery Josef Biffar was founded in 1734. Since 2013 the estate with its beautiful buildings, has been in the care of Fumiko Tokuoka. Starting her career in wine research at renowned Geisenheim University, she has worked as an enologist for several German wineries for over two decades. At Deidesheim, she not only produces her own wines now, but also brings the culture of her native country to the region by opening the high end Japanese restaurant Fumi on location at the winery. Peach, apricot, citrus – these are the typical Riesling aromas you will find in this elegant wine. Its fruity character, soft residual sugar and fresh acidity make it a perfect partner to all light dishes such as fish or fresh vegetables. By the way: We like this wine so much that we made it part of our “BASF Exklusiv” collection!

$ 17.00

BA_BCH15

dry Char-donnay

“Each wine and each vintage has its own personality, its own character and its own history.”

The winery is located in the idyllically Mediterra-nean wine hamlet called Duttweiler, which is in the heart of the winegrowing region of Pfalz. The win-ery was founded in 1838 and today the 5th genera-tion of the Nett family is continuing the tradition of wine production. The philosophy of the Nett family is to work with respect to nature. Their biggest challenge is to emphasize the potential and individ-uality of each vineyard in the estate. In their wine cellars, where tradition meets innovation in a har-monious and deliberate way, there is a sense of tranquility and of providing the wines the luxury of time. Christian Nett was awarded recognition as “the best young winemaker in Germany” in 2015 from the German Agricultural Association (DLG). This Chardonnay presents a nose of ripe yellow fruit aroma with a hint of pineapple at the finish. The palate is characterized by pear and apple - very juicy and creamy with a well balanced acidity.

sweet Riesling An anecdote says that the famous German statesman Otto von Bismarck thoroughly enjoyed the wine from the Ungeheuer vineyards. The name Ungeheuger translates into English to a very big monster. Bismarck is reported to have said, “This monster tastes monstrously good”. Due to their location in the middle of a slope, the Ungeheuer vineyards are sheltered from winds and thus the grapes can ripen extremely well. The vines here usually flower earlier than those in other vineyard sites. This Riesling Auslese showcases aromas of lemon, pink grapefruit and honey. The fruitiness of the wine is completed by an harmonious mineral note. Enjoy this elegant, naturally sweet wine with fruit based desserts, crème brulée, or to celebrate a special occasion.

2014 Deidesheimer Pinot Noir

BA_DPN14

dry Spät- burgunder (Pinot Noir)

Martin and Georg Fusser have the great fortune to work in one of the most highly valued places for winegrowing on this planet, the vineyards surrounding the little town of Deidesheim. In 2006 the brothers were studying oenology together at the renowned Geisenheim University, when they made the decision to start their own business. Up to that point their parents had only been growing grapes and selling them to the local cooperative. But the young winemakers wanted to see their own name on the bottle and so they started to successfully vinify their first wines in 2007, with delicious results!

Pinot Noir, or Spätburgunder as we call it, is the most important German red grape variety. The 2014 vintage of this wine is young and fruity in style with aromas of red cherries, raspberries and the freshness of green pine needles, reminiscent of a walk in the woods.

dry Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Mitos, Cabernet Cubin, Merlot, Lagrein

“Being a good winemaker is not about doing a lot of things. It is about making the right decision at the right time”, says young winemaker Christian Nett. He is one of the rising stars in the Palatinate winegrowing area. Together with his close family and a team of motivated young professionals, he has led Berdolt-Reif & Nett from a small village winery with local customers to a nationally recognized winery featuring superior quality wines.

Our exclusive cuvée is a blend of five powerful red grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Mitos, Cabernet Cubin, Merlot and Lagrein. The wine has been aged in wooden barrels for 18 months so you will not only notice aromas of dark berries and plum in your glass, but also some spicy oak-flavors. With its strong tannins and full body, this wine is perfect for your next barbecue or for dishes with red meat and strong flavors. And by the way, translated to English “Sehr Nett” means “very nice” – we hope you like this “Nett” wine as much as we do!

dry Pinot Noir As was typical for many in the southern Palatinate region, the Becker family ran a mixed use farm for many generations, with vineyards, some animals, a still, and a myriad of fruit trees. In the middle of the 20th century, it became apparent that the soils and slopes at the edge of the Palatinate Forest of-fered excellent growing conditions for outstanding wines. Ever since then, wine making has been the profession as well as the passion of the Becker family. In 1973, Friedrich Becker Sr. filled the first bottles with the fox on the label, which became, in a very short time, their trademark. For old friends of their wines, and now for many wine connois-seurs around the world, this label stands for unique wines with uncompromisingly high quality. His son Friedrich Becker Jr. is continuing the pro-duction of high quality wines now under his own label “Der kleine Fritz” (the little Fritz). His wine label features a wild boar, showing that his wine style is a little more unconventional and wild than his fathers, The “Wildwein” (wild wine) Pinot Noir is elegant, with typical aromas of cherries and dark berries. Nevertheless the taste is rich with soft oak notes, and it has definitely some grip. It partners perfectly with Barbecue ribs.

On its northerly flow from Basel, Switzerland to Rotterdam, Netherlands the Rhine is forced by local geology to make a bend westwards for 30 km (18.6 miles), from the city of Wiesbaden to the village of Lorschhausen. By doing so, the river has created the most perfect conditions for the vineyards of the Rheingau, well recognized by the Romans and the Cistercian monks who spread the culture of the vine to this enclave of Riesling viticulture. The best vineyards are on steep terraced slopes facing due south, protected from the north wind by the heavily forested Taunus hills, and from the east and west winds by the bends in the river. The Rhine, which is at its widest here, provides warmth to the vines by reflection during the day and by radiating back its stored warmth at night. Rheingau Rieslings have the customary virtues associated with German wines: fine balance, exquisitely defined fruit flavors, and stimulating acidity. They have more alcohol and fullness than those of the Mosel, but less than those of the Pfalz. Their unique quality is, however, their earthy character and herbaceous flavors. Rheingau wines have been imported into the United States since the days of Thomas Jefferson. During his term as ambassador to France Jefferson had several hundred bottles prepared for his personal cellar and shipped back to Virginia.

In past centuries, a director was appointed to run the estate, but now for the first time in the estate´s long history, baron Georg and his wife, baroness Andrea von Simmern manage the estate themselves. The grape variety Riesling sets the tone, accounting for 98 percent of all plantings.

This wine has a delicate mineral taste influenced by the soil where the vines grow. Hints of herbs and lime and a subtle spicy aroma characterize this Riesling, bottled exclusively for BASF. This wine presents a fresh acidity, is very clear and straight. We recommend enjoying this bright wine with mild poached fish and lightly steamed vegetables.

The land of a thousand hills, Rheinhessen, has been producing wine since ancient Roman times. As the largest wine region in Germany, Rheinhessen has gained recognition all over the world. It has become the heart of the German wine trade in part thanks to the German Wine Institute that is located in Mainz. It is important to mention the great geographical and climate conditions in this region that enhance the wine growing characteristics. Because the region is bounded by rivers, the Taunus hills and the lush Oden Forest, the vineyards of the Rheinhessen are protected from extremely harsh weather and bestowed with a variety of different soil types.

The steep valleys of Mosel, Saar and Ruwer, have been planted with vines since Roman times, when legionnaires discovered the warm microclimate and slate soils. The region is known for producing the most quintessentially German wines, with nice acidity and a bouquet of crab apples, wild flowers and a flinty finish. As soon as the fierce, existential battle with the weather is won, the growers in Mosel produce some of the most superlative white wines of Germany: green-gold in color, with a lush peach-like bouquet, a touch of black currants and an almost unlimited potential for aging.

Together with his girlfriend Johanna, an educated Sommelière, he is cultivating 9 hectares (22 acres) of vines on the steep slate-slopes of the Saar Valley, producing Riesling-wines ranging from dry to lusciously sweet. This 2015 Riesling Kabinett is perfectly in-between. It shows a sweetness in the mouth, which is balanced by a mouthwatering acidity. The aromas are fresh and reminiscent of apricot, intense lemon and orange zest and meld with the typical mineral notes of this region, which might remind you of the aroma of wet slate-stone. This wine was produced from a single vineyard named Niedermenninger Sonnenberg, which translates to sunny mountain. Perfect food pairings for this Rielsing are fresh sashimi or spicy dishes, like a hot Thai curry.

Bordeaux is one of the most important wine regions of France and synonymous with fine red wines throughout the world. Located not far from the Atlantic coast, with the largest sand dunes in Europe, the vineyards border the Dordogne and Garonne rivers which join together to form the Gironde. Bordeaux was one of the major French ports until the early part of the 20th century. The reason why all Bordeaux shippers speak English with a British accent originates from the fact that the whole region was under English rule for four centuries. Most of the Bordeaux red wines are a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

The wines of Burgundy are stars in the international wine world: Names like La Tâche, Romanée-Conti or Corton- Charlemange make the hearts of wine lovers beat faster. The vineyards of this famous region are located in the middle east of France and stretch from Chablis in the north, to Macon in the south. Beaune, famous for its wine auction in November, is the capital. What makes Burgundy so renowned is the perfect elegance you only find in wines of this region. The predominant red grape is Pinot Noir, which makes light bodied, but still well-structured red wines of high finesse. Burgundy’s white grape Chardonnay might be known as a common every day drinking wine in other regions of the world – but the winemakers of Burgundy know the art of giving this grape the most complex and seductive aromas!

Forming a corridor between the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, the Rhone Valley extends over six French départements. The region draws its strength from it’s namesake rich and powerful river, which shapes its landscape and moulds its character. The wines grown between Vienne and Avignon, between the Massif Central, the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea, are nourished in part by the sun and caressing wind, and from the determination of the region’s many wine-growers to produce quality wines while respecting the environment.

In many Spanish bars the guests only pay for the wine. The tapas – wafer-thin slices of ham, olives or a piece of tortilla – are provided free of charge. The quintessential wine pairing with tapas is a powerful vino tinto (a term synonymous with red table wine in Spain). Red wine in Spain is typically bold in flavor and no wonder, since the vines have to put up with extremes: intense sun during the day, cold temperatures at night and little water.

The Tempranillo grape copes with this climate the best and is dominant in Spain, one of Europe’s most important winegrow-ing areas. It produces a wine that appears to have the intensity of the hot Spanish climate within it and needs time to breathe and unfold its full, saturated opulence.

Here, old bush vines grow from chalky, ferrous clay soils and because the yield is low, the grapes are gently handpicked to preserve their quality. This makes Pla Cazada a true Spanish treasure.

Germans love bubbles! Our beer and wine-drink-ing nation is also the largest sparkling wine con-sumer worldwide, with people enjoying about 4 liters each per year. It is no surprise therefore, that some German wineries have specialized in pro-ducing only the best sparkling wines.

Among these is the winery Wilhelmshof, a first-class producer located in the village of Siebelding-en in southern Palatinate. The family-run estate does a small production of approximate 40 000 bottles a year and they have been awarded the “Best Sparkling Wine Producer of Germany” countless times. Their Blanc de Noir is made of Pinot Noir grapes. After vinifying the white-pressed juice, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle (also known as méthode champenoise) and this is where the magic happens: The carbon dioxide re-sulting from the fermentation dissolves into the wine and – voilà – the bubbles are in! This fruity and creamy Blanc de Noir is your perfect aperitif to enjoy at special occasions or just every day.
