This posting is part of a series of postings with regard to the Eichelmann WeinGuide Deutschland 2024:
Germany's 40 Best Winemakers (With 5/5 Stars) - Eichelmann WeinGuide Deutschland 2024
40 producers received the maximum of 5 out of 5 stars in the Eichelmann Deutschlands Weine 2024 (Weltklasse/ world class).
Interestingly, the list of winemakers from Baden is relatively long in the Eichelmann ranking and the list of winemakers from the Pfalz extremely short. The following wine regions do not appear in the list below, i.e. there is no winemaker with 5 stars: Mittelrhein, Saale-Unstrut, Sachsen, Hessische Bergstrasse.
Further, elsewhere regarded as superstars, Weingut Zilliken, Weingut JJ Prüm and Weingut Egon Müller from the Mosel region, known for their ultra-premium sweet-style wines, are not in Eichelmann's 5 stars group of winemakers.
