Feinschmecker: Werner Näkel has earned a great reputation with his wines: opulent yet concentrated wines made him a pioneer of the Ahr Region and raised him to the international stage. But the family does not rest on these laurels. The siblings Dörte and Meike Näkel now run the business. The current vintage is fantastic, it shines with subtle beauty and restraint. Velvety and silky go hand in hand with juicy and beautiful, you want to smell, drink and start again. Pure drinking flow. The refreshing citrus fruit on the palate of the Blanc de Noir is not even noticeable in the 2018 hot vintage. The Blauschiefer is a great wine for the price, with nice juiciness. The Grauwacke is herbal and has a complex structure, subtle fruit. The density of the Kräuterberg indicates that this wine still needs time. The Sonnenberg GG already shines with an almost perfect slim elegance and vibrating acidity.

Feinschmecker: The wines of winemaker Alexander Stodden have long been known for their remarkable restraint, they are quiet but very elegant. This effect was intensified in the 2017 vintage. Stodden, who has always had a penchant for French flair, builds exceptionally balanced wines that seduce with structure rather than fruit. For this, his bottles need rest and time to develop their full finesse. The reward for waiting: a fluid, unmistakable embodiment of Stodden's incredible precision in the vineyard and cellar. His Sonnenberg GG is straightforward and fine, with a depth and aromas that merge into an almost endless finale; the Herrenberg GG is rather playful, with a lively acidity and bright red fruits, which are surrounded by a deep, delicate network of tannins. Make room in the cellar for these GGs and enjoy the expressive charm of the Frühburgunder while you wait.

Feinschmecker: That Julian Huber's GG belongs to the best Pinot Noirs in Germany is well known by now. Julian Huber has changed the style of Weingut Bernhard Huber quit a bit. The collection has become smaller, more focused and a bit more delicate. The leap in quality is particularly large with the Chardonnay. Our favorite among Pinot Noirs this year is the Große Gewächs from the Malterdinger Bienenberg, because it is already very accessible: a little sweet fruit on the nose, dark fruits on the palate, fresh acidity, round. We don't reveal any secret. But we are also convinced by Julian Huber's basic wines. The Malterdinger Pinot Noir offers a lot of wine in a glass for 18 Euros and bears the elegant handwriting of the big brothers. And as already mentioned, you should now stock up a bit with Chardonnay. For example with the representative of the Alte Reben - he takes us to Burgundy. The nose smoky-flinty, cactus, fascinating. Still young, extremely fresh acid. Keep going!

Feinschmecker: Only 21 wineries have been awarded 5 stars: everything has to be right. The entry-level is represented by the Pinot Blanc pur mineral: straightforward, slim and yet rich in discovery - a slight hint of flint in the bouquet, mineral on the palate, subtle in the fruit, slim, with a tickling, dynamic acidity. At the top, the winery must have a unique selling point; at Fürst, the Spätburgunder and Frühburgunder wines are deeply elegant - like the 2017 Pinot Noir from the Hundsrück vineyard: it is still young, you need patience, but then it is incredibly complex, cool, spicy, with almost ethereal density on the palate, plus good tannins. The Burgstädter Berg from the Erste Lage vineyard is somewhat more accessible. If there is still a Chardonnay with impressive elegance and clarity in the glass, you know: Here you are at Germany's top level.

Feinschmecker: Horst Sauer cultivates around 20 hectares, jointly with his daughter Sandra. When young, Silvaner and Riesling are characterized by a demanding, sometimes bitter acidity that makes these wines so lively. The sweet wines from the estate in Escherndorf are great this year. The Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese from the top location Escherndorfer Lump is full of energy, clean and clear in the fruit: With the very good grapes, this wine should keep its freshness for decades. The Silvaner from the Lump is dense, complex and long. We are always pleased with the quality of the estate, the independent character of the wines and the versatility of Riesling and Silvaner from dry to noble sweet.

Feinschmecker: This producer on the Middle Mosel has become known above all for its fruity-sweet wines, which have always been world-class. Nothing has changed to this day, but here too the dry Rieslings are on the rise. Trendy and in-demand wines of simple elegance, a bit trimmed to mainstream, but not the extraordinary class of the traditional Moselle style, which can only arise in this wine region. In 2018 Oliver Haag presented a respectable collection that undoubtedly also includes outstanding dry Rieslings. But we are still proven fans of his fruit-sweet specimens, which are perfectly balanced and show an amazing tension between fruit and acid. Wine to bite into, full of finesse and multi-faceted play within the crystal-clear aroma, plus a Riesling acidy of the finest, balanced and mature, invigorating and enormously refreshing. World class!

Feinschmecker: Ernst Loosen belongs to the absolute top producers in Germany and also convinces us year after year. These are characterful wines of an exceptional format. Above all, this constancy can be admired. The entry-level wines are accessible and harmonious, moving up the quality pyramid the complexity, depth and maturity of the wines increase. Ernst Loosen also has a strong presence worldwide, he exports to 80 countries and is an ambassador for German Riesling culture. The British wine critic Jancis Robinson expressly praised his commitment as being groundbreaking for the future of German wine abroad. The estates's success story is impressive. Ernst Loosen can look at a variety of world-famous locations: Erdener Prälat, Ürziger Würzgarten or Wehlener Sonnenuhr. This year's collection is also classic. The remaining fruity-sweet wines, from Kabinett to Auslese, are fantastic, full of play and harmony. The dry wines are getting better and better. We particularly like the Großer Gewächs Réserve line, wines that Ernst Loosen gives even more time in the bottle before they are sold.

Feinschmecker: How do you deal with this when a winery has received the highest ratings and has been delivering outstanding quality for years and has become even better with the current vintage? This is the case at Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm. Manfred and Katharina Prüm are legends. Only Rieslings are produced at ths winery, all are not fully fermented so that the wines have residual sugar. The wines of Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm are famous worldwide for residual sugar. this. The wines, which already taste fantastic when young, only fully display their exceptional quality after a few years. They are extremely fine, of almost endless play and combine lightness and depth in impressive dimensions. Tasting the collection is always a highlight. In 2017, we were particularly impressed by the wines from the Graacher Himmelreich vineyard: the Spätlese full of excitement and delicately chiselled acid. The Auslese is tighter, with a little more fruit, very animating. The Goldkapsel Auslese goes one step further even.

The highlight of the 2018 collection are the fruity-sweet Kabinett wines, Spätlese and Auslese wines, which are wonderfully juicy and characterized by crystal-clear fruit, coupled with a racy acidity that guarantees enormous freshness. We were also impressed by the two Grosses Gewächs wines, powerful, dry Rieslings, which, despite their fullness and power, always are elegant and which show their true greatness in the maturing potential they have.

Feinschmecker: There is no doubt that Thomas Haag's Grosses Gewächs wines are among the best in the region. Also in the current collection, the striking GG Riesling from the Niederberg Helden vineyard stands out: a strong, full-bodied wine with a dense, elegant fruit body, powerful on the palate and impressively long in the finish. But Thomas Haag can do it differently. His fruit-sweet Kabinett Riesling is of dance-like elegance, light-footed in its drinking flow, full of aromatics and accompanied by a fresh, polished acidity that is almost perfectly set. At the same high level, we tried outstanding Spätlese and Auslese wines, which are prime examples of the fruity-sweet style.

Feinschmecker: When it comes to perfect Rieslings, the name Dönnhoff must be mentioned. For years, this exceptional producers has stood for first-class wines that not only belong to the top at the top, but are also a figurehead for German Riesling worldwide. With the 2018 vintage, Cornelius Dönnhoff has once again set accents: his slim, extremely elegant wines shine with sparkling clean fruit, are perfectly balanced and get the right momentum from an imposing refreshing acidity to swing themselves into the highest spheres. Rieslings with wings - even the compact Grosses Gewächs wines have something of the playful elegance that characterizes all Dönnhoff wines. If residual sweetness comes into play, the Rieslings present themselves in a unique, partly exotic fruitiness, which leaves no doubt that they are also great Rieslings.

Respect for this achievement of a young winemaker, which seamlessly ties in with the first-class wines of his father Werner. Frank Schönleber immerses the clean and fresh, aromatic fruit into the depths of his Rieslings and at the same time brings a dynamic touch to his wines from a gripping, extremely fine acidity. The current Pinot Blanc captivates with clear, subtly balanced fruit aromas that run through the entire, elegantly shaped drinking flow. This is how Weissburgunder works!

The retasted Grosses Gewächs wines from the previous year also showed themselves cheerfully present and complex, no trace of fatigue, but an amazing freshness packed in a compact fruit body.

Always equipped with fine, but distinct mineral notes, the Rieslings present themselves in top form in 2018 and show how a multi-layered fruit is balanced with sweetness and acidity in such a way that a perfectly harmonious taste is created in the end. The 2018 Pinot Blanc wines are also top class: fine-fruity wines with long-lasting floral notes that are characterized by a captivating elegance.

The two Palatinates simply do their job and let the wines speak for themselves. And they are outstanding in 2018, all of them remarkable works of art. Despite all the depth in which the sparkling clean fruit is immersed, the Rieslings never lose their captivating elegance, which applies to all wines of the winery. The Riesling Auslese from the Forster Ungeheuer is an exciting wine with a perfect fruit-acid play, which only wnemaker Ulrich Mell can probably get in the Mittelhardt.

It almost is a routine, for many years Laumersheimer wines have been of a special class, the name Knipser has long been a trademark and a seal of quality at the highest level in the German wine scene. From the 2018 vintage, we were unfortunately only able to try the Sauvignon Blanc, a wine that scratches the “world class” level. The powerful Rieslings from 2017 show only a few aging notes, but are in top form as are the fine Pinot Noirs, which, with their captivating elegance and Bourgogne depth, show what German red wine can do if it gets into the right hands.

Feinschmecker: The estate run by Gunter Künstler is one of the most diverse in the Rheingau: the grape variety portfolio offers more than Riesling and Pinot Noir, and the vineyards are spread over the entire Rheingau region. The estate itself is a little out of the way in Hochheim am Main, just before the confluence with the Rhine. The winery's style has become a bit fuller and juicier, sometimes at the expense of finesse. Nevertheless, there are exciting and good wines here. The Chardonnay Barrique matures in the French Faa, has fine toasted notes and a vanilla nose, it is juicy and fresh on the palate, round and lush. The Riesling Weiss Erd shows the muscles mentioned and has a lot of potential. The Spätburgunder from the Höllenberg is classically elegant and a good ambassador for the vineyard.

Feinschmecker: Getting into the ranks of the 5 star producers is not easy: an individual style, continuous quality and a collection without outliers are the minimum requirements. Eva Fricke fulfilled them in our eyes. The winery is one of the most exciting in the region and one of the best in Germany. Eva Fricke is a classic newcomer. She had always wanted to make wine, but she had no family business or marked path. After graduating from gymnasium (Abitur) in Bremen, she found what she was looking for after a few stops in the Rheingau and bottled her first year of 0.24 hectares in 2006. Since then she has built a respectable winery out of nowhere: five employees, 13 hectares, export to 20 countries, ecological management. We are not only impressed by our career, but above all by her wines, which are very expressive, elegant and yet low in alcohol. It starts wth the entry-level, Rheingau Riesling, round from bouquet to finish, carried by the acid, ideally balanced. The wines all have a lot of strength with little alcohol. The Riesling Seligmacher is sensually almost dry, the subtle residual sweetness gives the wine just the right amount of play. Whether dry or sweet: big!

The Riesling Gräfenberg is a bench, very fine, with a light aromas and radiant with a very subtle creaminess. There is a nice spice on the palate. This is great Riesling with an unbelievable number of facets. A tip: visit the winery. It is probably the only one with a chateau character: if you walk up the path to the vinotheque, you will see the old manor house on the left and the new building on the right.

Above all, of course, Wittmann's exceptional Rieslings from the Morstein vineyard, aromatic works of art of bewitching elegance and with a remarkable freshness that also comes from the long, animating acidity.
