History
As was typical of the southern Palatinate region, our family has run a mixed use farm for many generations, with vineyards, some animals, a still and apple, pear, plum, cherry and mirabelle trees. In the middle of the 20th century, it became apparent that our soils and slopes at the edge of the Palatinate Forest offered excellent growing conditions for outstanding wines. Ever since then, wine making has been our profession as well as our passion. In 1973, Friedrich Becker Sr. filled the first bottles with the fox on the label, which became, in a very short time, our trademark. For old friends of our wines, and now for many wine connoisseurs around the world, this label stands for unique wines with uncompromisingly high quality. Over the years, many of our wines, especially our Pinot Noirs, have been consistently recognized as among the best in the Palatinate region and all of Germany. Our company is a member of the VDP and rated one of Germany's top wineries by Gault Millau (four out of five grape bunches).
Our goal is simple yet ambitious: to create the best possible wines from our outstanding soil and terroir. To achieve this goal, a winemaker has to be in tune with nature. To us, the wealth of creation is not merely the basis of our work, but an inspiration. Every year we are presented with new challenges and unique requirements that inform the personality of each vintage - this is what motivates and leads us on a path of continuous learning. The sum of all insights throughout the decades has enabled us to create some truly outstanding wines - for that we are thankful, and we will continue to strive to perfect our craft.
