There are 3 influential wine guides in Germany: the Eichelmann and the GaultMillau, followed by the Feinschmecker.
The 2013 Eichelmann was released in November 2012.
The Eichelmann uses a scale of 1 to 5 Stars. Here are those winemakers who got in the 2013 Eichelmann WineGuide Deutschland the maximum number of 5 stars, grouped by wine region. It is a group of 28 winemakers.

Each year, the Eichelmann also selects a winemaker of the year, a discovery of the year, etc. I will report about these special awards in a separate posting.

Interestingly, the list of winemakers from Baden is relatively long in the Eichelmann ranking and the list of winemakers from the Pfalz relatively short.
