The Gault Millau WineGuide Deutschland 2013 includes 1080 winemakers of Germany, selected by the American-borne editor Joel B. Payne and his team. This is really the crème de la crème.

The Gault Millau uses a scale of 1 to 5 Grapes. I have reported about the group of 10 winemakers who got in the 2013 Gault Millau WineGuide Deutschland the maximum number of 5 grapes.

Also, each year, the Gault Millau selects a winemaker of the year, a discovery of the year, etc. I have already report about these awards:

This posting provides a listing of those winemakers who got promoted in the Gault Millau WineGuide Deutschland 2013.
