The best Rieslings of the year have been announced
Winners come from the Palatinate, Franconia, Württemberg, Mittelrhein, Mosel and Nahe / Rieslings from Austria, Australia and the Czech Republic impress
The best Rieslings of the year were honoured today at the digital awards ceremony. A total of over 2,400 Rieslings from all over the world once again faced a jury of experts.
In the exciting final tastings of the eight competition categories, there were again some surprises this year in addition to well-known wineries. Third place in category 1 was won for the first time by a winery from the Czech Republic with a "Ryzlink rýnský" from the 2015 vintage.
"We already saw the huge potential of the 2019 vintage last year. The Rieslings from 2019 tasted now show that these wines are now showing their greatness through bottle maturity. The 2020 vintage is very exciting from our point of view."
