The Perspective of a Renowned Wine Critic: From Lorch to Hochheim, from Ultra-premium Sekt to High-end Dry Single-Vineyard GG, both White and Red, Giuseppe Lauria, Editor-in-Chief of the Weinwisser, presented 8 Wines of the Rheingau at the Rheingauer Weinkonvent in Geisenheim, February 2024

As part of the "Stammtisch-Series", Giuseppe Lauria, Editor-in-Chief of the Weinwisser, presented 8 Wines of the Rheingau at the Rheingauer Weinkonvent in Geisenheim, February 2024.

The wines ranged from an ultra-premium Sekt to high-end single-vineyard GG wines, both Riesling and Spätburgunder, from Lorch in the west to Hochheim in the east, from entry-level to high-end wines - an outstanding overview of "Rheingau Wines Today", selected by a renowned wine critic.

 

Interestingly and from an American perspective surprisingly, there were no fruity-sweet Kabinett, Spätlese or Auslese wines. In contrast, the annual new vintage tasting of the German Wine Society (Washington DC Chapter), of which I am the Vice-president, is always dominated by fruity-sweet wines, as requested by the membership.

The Rheingauer Weinkonvent is the leading Rheingau wine brotherhood, founded in 1971 at the Eberbach Monastery.

 

I joint the Rheingauer Weinkonvent about 15 years ago and participate in events as possible. The annual highlight is always "Die Grossen Konventstage" at the Eberbach Monastery.
