Friedrich Becker and his family own about 36 acres of vineyards in the southern part of the Pfalz region. He is one of the best producers in the Pfalz and one of the best Pinot Noir producers in Germany. 60% of his production is Pinot Noir which is grown primarily on stony, chalky soil. With time, his son, Friedrich Becker jun and his sister Helena have taken over more of the responsibilities at the winery along with co-cellar master Stefan Dorst.
The estate has been bottling and marketing its own wines since 1973. Vines are heavily pruned to restrict yields.
