Pfeffingen in the Pfalz appellation is owned and operated by the Eymael family. Doris Eymael and her son Jan Eymael are descendants of the family that was granted the land in the 17th century by Emperor Ferdinand II. The unicorn on the label comes from the family crest. Today the estate includes 42 acres planted to Riesling, Scheurebe, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. The estate is unusual in Germany for being on “terra rossa,” or rich, red loan. Jan Eymael and Rainer Gabel are the winemakers. Pfeffingen is known for its richly styled dry and sweet wines.
