The traditional winery Peter Jakob Kühn, which has been in the family for over 230 years, is one of the undisputed top wineries in the Rheingau. There are few wineries that are top in all areas, be it the basic wines, the dry single-vineyard wines or the noble sweet tops. They are carried by a density and independence, never too bold, always penetrating and present.
Son Peter Bernhard, who now runs the winery with his wife Viktoria, has gained valuable experience in the biodynamic showcase Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace and Burgundy. You can feel it: the top Rieslings are sometimes reminiscent of the best white wines in Burgundy. The way to the top also went through biodynamic farming. The Peter Jakob Kühn winery has been a certified Demeter member since 2004.
The wines are characterized by craftsmanship precision and reflect their terroir. With long yeast storage and natural fermentation processes, characterful Rieslings are created that stand out in the world of German wine.
