NATURAL WINES BY SECKINGER
Seckinger is a family estate in Niederkirchen, near Deidesheim in the Mittelhaardt, now run by the seventh generation: brothers Jonas, Lukas and Philipp. They took the helm from around 2012, and Jonas made his first wine at 17 in the family garage. Their vineyards spread around Deidesheim, Ruppertsberg and Königsbach, on a mix of mottled sandstone, chalk and loess.
Riesling leads, alongside Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, all fermented with wild yeasts, many in wooden barrels. The brothers love the Jura, which shows in a gentle oxidative touch in some wines, and they brought Savagnin from there into an old Gewürztraminer vineyard for the Savagnin Ente. The R Pure wines have no added sulphur; the rest get a small dose at bottling, which the Qualitätswein label requires. Look out for the ungrafted Riesling Kieselberg Wurzelecht, Grauburgunder Kalkstein and the light, partly whole-bunch Nero Rosso.
