Germany's 12 Best Wine Producers - HENRIS WeinGuide Germany 2026

The HENRIS WeinGuide Germany 2026 was released recently. Otto Geisel and his tasting team awarded 5 red grapes - the top category in the HENRIS WeinGuide Germany - to 12 wineries. 

HENRIS WeinGuide Germany 2026 
 
The HENRIS WeinGuide Germany 2026 was released recently by HENRIS, a publishing house based in Munich. This is the first HENRIS WeinGuide Germany. Until very recently, the HENRIS publishing house was in charge of the Gault&Millau Guides for Germany, both for restaurants and wine. Basically, the HENRIS WineGuide Germany is the old Gault&Millau WeinGuide Germany with a new name. The team of tasters remained the same, with Otto Geisel heading the team.
