TOP 100 WINES OF THE WORLD - PLATZ 2
Highlights of the list include the great wines of Germany from the exceptional 2023 vintage, which our senior editor, Stuart Pigott, believes is among the best ever, from a dry yet balanced growing season. Stuart has been a good friend since the late 1980s and has covered Germany as a journalist and taster since then. I have rarely heard him enthuse as much about a vintage as he does about 2023. Our No. 2 wine, the Künstler Riesling Rheingau Hölle GG 2023 is a sublime example of what makes 2023 vineyard-specific dry riesling exceptional.

2023 HÖLLE Riesling GG
„What can you say about this spiciness, other than it is off the scale? The power, concentration, vitality and dynamism are all truly incredible on the full-bodied and compact palate. You can’t step back from this, only fall into it and experience dry riesling nirvana. Unbelievable saltiness in the everlasting finish.
