PRESS RELEASE Neustadt (Germany), 18 June 2020 Best of Riesling 2020: The best Rieslings of the year present themselves (digital) The best Rieslings of the year were presented today in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (Germany). The world's largest international Riesling competition honored the best in a virtual awards ceremony. This year, a total of 2,017 wines from all the great and important Riesling growing regions of the world were tasted and evaluated. Rieslings from the Mittelrhein region were the winners of this year's Best of Riesling competition. A total of 5 wines are among the first-placed, all from the famous steep slope Bopparder Hamm, which is divided into the individual single vineyards Engelstein, Feuerlay and Mandelstein. The two wineries Matthias Müller and Weingart from Spay, which have been successful with Best of Riesling in previous years, will be complemented this year by the up-and-coming Didinger winery from Osterspai. Among the first-place winners are well-known names such as Weingut A. Christmann and Philipp Kuhn (both in the Palatinate), Weingut Künstler (Rheingau) or Weingut am Stein (Franconia). But also many up-and-coming wineries such as the Eymann and Johann F. Ohler wineries (both in the Palatinate) or the Didinger winery (Mittelrhein) are among the winners. The most successful growing regions are the Palatinate with a total of 399 awards, followed by Rheinhessen (287) and the Mosel (269). Internationally, Rieslings from Austria (43), Alsace (30), Luxembourg (11), but also the Czech Republic, Australia and Italy scored well. Special prizes in the competition were awarded to the Horst Sauer winery (Best Steep-Slope Riesling Dry), the Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr (Best European Riesling Dry) and the Cleebronn-Güglingen cooperative (Best Riesling Dry in Food Retail). "The vintages tasted show that the new 2019 vintage has great potential. 11 of the total 27 first-placed Rieslings come from the 2019 vintage, and 2018 is where the wheat separates from the chaff: the great Rieslings from 2018 now show that even in a vintage with a larger harvrest, real top qualities are produced," says Christian Wolf, tasting director Best of Riesling, summing up his impressions. There was also no need to forego an award ceremony this year. This took place virtually under the moderation of tasting director Christian Wolf and Weinwelt editor-in-chief Ilka Lindemann. Even the patron of the competition, Rhineland- 1 Palatinate's Minister of Viticulture, Dr. Volker Wissing, did not miss the opportunity to send his congratulations to the winners in the form of a video message. After a varied online awards ceremony, at which all the winegrowers placed on the winners' podium were personally present, they were able to meet in the "virtual Vinicombe" of the Meininger Verlag for the traditional exchange among colleagues, although this year without the opportunity to taste the winning wines of their colleagues critically. The fact that the competition could take place at all in times of a global pandemic is due to a well-thought-out hygiene concept. This year as well, the most important German grape variety, the Riesling, could be offered a worthy platform. On a total of 12 tasting days, the Rieslings entered for the competition were intensively tasted, evaluated and the best were awarded one of the coveted prizes. The wines were blindly tasted by a jury of experts who were very familiar with the diversity of Riesling. "It was a great challenge for us this year to conduct Best of Riesling: On the one hand, we have taken appropriate hygiene measures to protect the health of our tasters and employees. On the other hand, we have managed to provide a professional environment for the wines in competition and for our tasters. We are delighted to finally present the winners today and to be able to make our recommendations of the best Rieslings of the year," Christian Wolf concludes. Meininger's Weinwelt presents the first places and the best 123 Rieslings in its July issue. All award-winning Rieslings can now be found at www.best-of-riesling.com. The recording of the award ceremony can also be found there.

    How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine

    How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine Eiswein is a sweet dessert wine that originated in Germany. This "late harvest" wine is traditionally pressed from grapes that are harvested after they freeze on the vine. "Eiswein" literally means "ice wine," and is called so on some labels. If you want to buy eiswein, know the country and the method that produced the bottle to find the best available "ice wine" for your budget. Does this Spark an idea? Instructions 1. o 1 Locate a local wine store or look on line for wine sellers who carry eiswein. o 2 Look for a bottle that fits your price range. German and Austrian Eisweins, which follow established methods of harvest and production, are the European gold standard. However, many less expensive, but still excellent, ice wines come from Austria, New Zealand, Slovenia, Canada and the United States. Not all producers let grapes freeze naturally before harvesting them at night. This time-honored and labor-intensive method of production, as well as the loss of all but a few drops of juice, explains the higher price of traditionally produced ice wine. Some vintners pick the grapes and then artificially freeze them before pressing. Manage Cellar, Share Tasting Notes Free, powerful, and easy to use! o 3 Pick a colorful and fragrant bouquet. Eiswein is distinguished by the contrast between its fragrant sweetness and acidity. A great eiswein is both rich and fresh. Young eisweins have tropical fruit, peach or berry overtones. Older eisweins suggest caramel or honey. Colors can range from white to rose.

    The German Wine Market: a Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis

    Article The German Wine Market: A Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis Marc Dressler Management and Entrepreneurship, University of Ludwigshafen, Ernst-Boehe-Str. 4, D-67059 Ludwigshafen, Germany; [email protected] Received: 25 July 2018; Accepted: 15 November 2018; Published: 21 November 2018 Abstract: Even though it is famous for beer, Germany offers one of the most attractive wine markets, exemplified by being the fourth biggest wine consumption market and a world champion in sparkling wine consumption as well as in wine imports. Still, fragmentation, intensive competition, lack of growth, and a changing environment speak to a challenging market for suppliers. In the absence of a comprehensive investigation on the market, this article aspires to deliver an economic and strategic market analysis. The statistical data is therefore complemented by the primary market research, notably online surveys on strategy and innovation, a proprietary database on wineries’ reputation, and an international expert survey on export success factors. The following market study aims to provide a concise overview covering the relevant market data, and to disclose strategic information about the German wine industry beyond pure market statistics. The German wine market, in the stable wine volume sold, shows dynamism underneath “the tip of the iceberg”, with industry specific environmental forces. Indeed, as the wine industry deals with agricultural products of a high emotional utility, players need to address the world of commodities and of differentiation. Structural changes are visible in the drive-out of players. Moreover, diverse and even restricting environmental factors motivate supplier´s innovation. The key is the changing consumer.

    Franconia the Growing Region: Zehnthof Luckert Winery

    Franconia The growing region: Wine has been grown on the hills and matured in the cellars of Franconia for over 1200 years. Formerly almost exclusively the province of monasteries, today many secular vintners continue the tradition with care and attention. Franconian vines flourish on 6300 hectares. 85 percent of the wine grown here is white, especially Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau und Bacchus varieties. But the reds are also a treat - sometimes silky, sometimes fruity, sometimes remarkably fiery. Zehnthof Luckert winery Built in 1558, for four centuries Zehnthof in Sulzfeld am Main was a prince-bishopric property until Theo Luckert purchased it in 1970 and turned it into a wine business. It remained for his sons Ulrich and Wolfgang to build it into a winery whose fame extends far beyond the borders of its Franconian home. Its 17 hectares of vineyard stretching across the premium Franconian locations of Maustal and Cyriakusberg are planted mostly in Silvaner and Müller-Thurgau. All of the slopes are naturally green and since 2007 the Luckert family has been cultivating certain parcels fully organically. After careful picking by hand, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is matured in 2400 l barrels under the ancient arches of the cellar. In 2009 leading German wine guide Eichelmann gave Zehnthof the highest rating, with 5 stars and “world class.” This judgement has remained unchanged since. Recommended wines: 2015 Silvaner Muschelkalk dry 0.2 l/0.75 l 10.00/34.00 2015 Pinot Blanc 0.2 l/0.75 l 10.50/36.00 Characteristic local dishes: Nuremberg chopped bread 14.50 Nuremberg sausage-style beef tartare on toasted rustic bread with mustard crème and summer herbs Fried salmon trout with potato crust 26.50 Silvaner butter und pea lettuce vegetables Franconian vintner-style flank steak 32.50 with onion crème, caramelized onions, romaine lettuce hearts and smoked peeled potatoes .
