The wines

Nothing about the modest appearance of the Bold family leaves the uninitiated observers suggest that expect him here some of the greatest and most distinctive Rieslings that you can find. In the noble sweet wines Peter Kühn is quite long to tip in Germany, but in the last decade he has lifted his dry Rieslings on a level that best reached from the competition, but can hardly be surpassed. Here are just the dry specimens are not always easy to understand. Too deep, too complex and idiosyncratic they are with their often downright brazen acting construction, the tannins, the almost painful minerality. There are wines that are predestined for years and decades of maturity that you're young sometimes already antrinken, if you absolutely have to have, but often completely close themselves, at times in between a little more accessible show, then dive again, and only show after years, what is really in them. Even the base wines in which Peter Kühn implements its philosophy perhaps not quite as uncompromising, are tremendously exciting unique items with which one deals like longer. A groundbreaking operation, not only for his territory. And our collection of the year in the Rheingau.
