Tasting at Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn (VDP) in Oestrich-Winkel, Rheingau, with Peter Bernhard Kühn - Germany Rhein-Mosel-Nahe 2024 by ombiasy WineTours










Germany Rhein-Mosel-Nahe 2024 by ombiasy WineTours took place from August 28 – Friday, September 06, 2024. We spent 10 days visiting top wine estates in five wine regions, tasting fabulous Rieslings and Pinot Noir (aka Spätburgunder), meeting world-renowned wine makers, travelling through the world’smost beautiful wine regions, cruising on the romantic Rhein river, looking at dizzying steep vineyards along the Rhein and Mosel rivers, and delving deep into German history and culture: Rheinhessen • Rheingau • Mittelrhein • Mosel • Nahe

Following:

we visited Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn. Peter Bernhard Kühn was our host. We did a quick tour of the wine cellar and then sat down in the courtyard of Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn with him, next to the vineyards. Viktoria Kühn welcomed us. Stephan Rheinhardt, who covers Germany for Robert Parker Wine Advocate, was also there and we had to coordinate our visit with his visit.

Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn is represented in the USA by Weygandt-Metzler Importing.

Weingut Peter Jakob Kühn (VDP) in Oestrich-Winkel, Rheingau

This wine estate was founded around the start of the 18th century. Today it is run by the 12th generation of the family, Peter Bernhard Kühn. I quote Bernhard’s mother Angela Kühn: “Only by maintaining our philosophy and through the knowledge that quality and sustainability are inseparable, has our winery survived through the centuries. On this basis we decided in 2004, to achieve a certification as ecological, biodynamic winery. The expectation we set in our own quality also manifests itself in our memberships in
the VDP (Association of Premium German Wine Estates), Demeter, the association for organic agriculture based on anthroposophical principles, and the association of international biodynamical wineries : ‘La Renaissance des Appellations’.” 

They farm 50 acres in top vineyard sites in Oestrich, Mittelheim, Hallgarten. 95% is planted with Riesling, 5% with Pinot Noir which is used in their Sekt production. For years this wine estate has been continuously been placed by international wine journalists in the very top tier of German wineries.

Weygandt-Metzler Importing: Peter Jakob Kühn

Situated in the historic Rheingau on the right banks of the river Rhine, the Kühn Estate has been a cornerstone of German wine-making for roughly 230 years and has been passed down through 11 generations. Having grown into a 20 hectare estate, Peter Bernhard along with his wife Viktoria, his parents Peter Jakob and Angela, as well as his sister Sandra continue to both preserve the established traditions of their ancestors and to pursue modern viticultural techniques. In 2004 they made the decision to achieve certification as an organic and biodynamic winery. The belief and expectation of quality wine manifests itself in their memberships in the VDP (Prädikat Wine Estates), Demeter, and "La Renaissance des Appellations". The result is a collection of exquisite and well-defined rieslings.

Peter Jakob and Angela Kühn

This was the first time that we had a tasting with Peter Bernhard Kühn. Until now, we dealt with his parents, Peter Jakob and Angela. The next generation has taken over. All the best!
