This winery has been in the Weis family for centuries, but it was only in 1947 that they replanted the vines and moved their way into making wine. Nicolaus Weis, who founded the production, pioneered the winery forward, and when his son, Hermann, took over in the 1960's, they were already on their way to great things. Hermann continued to build their nursery, becoming one of the largest in Germany, which marked Hermann as one of the best vine breeders around, especially in regards to Riesling. It wasn't long before Hermann's started to expand, and he was the first person to introduce Vitis Vinifera to Ontario, planting the first batch of Riesling in what now is Vine Land Winery. His Son, Nic, joined the production in 1997, and since then, they reduced their vineyard holdings by selling off their lesser quality patches. Nic started to use only the oldest part of the vineyard to produce this wine, and with wild fermentation, the quality of this wine is outstanding for its value. This Riesling is fresh and vibrant, with that traditional Mosel minerality. With notes of orchard fruit, blossom, citrus and wet rock, it is the perfect companion for any meal.

Wittmann is a highly regarded producer whose history dates back to the 17th century. The current winery was built in 1829 but the winemaking employs state-of-the-art viticulture. The vineyards are certified biodynamic and fermentations rely on natural yeasts. The fruit is manually harvested and sorted and all the press wine is transferred to tank via gravity flow. Wittmann has been highly awarded in the German wine press, and now produces some of the most coveted wines produced in the country.

Joh. Jos. Prüm needs no introduction to Riesling lovers, having already become a Mosel icon during the nearly five decades during which its namesake’s son Sebastien was in charge. Katharina Prüm has been active alongside her father, Manfred, since early in the new millennium, and the two of them perpetuate a house style that has itself become a Mosel archetype: wines of delicacy and restrained sweetness, often strongly marked in youth by yeasty and otherwise fermentative aromas, and tingling with dissolved CO2. Their longevity is legendary, and the Prüms personally don’t care to drink their own wines – even the Kabinetts – with less than a dozen, and usually many more, years in bottle. The aromas of youthful Prüm wines make it obvious that fermentation here is entirely spontaneous. Manfred makes no secret of his longstanding disinterest in legally dry wines.

Dr Robert Weil founded this historic winery in 1888 in the town of Keidrich (Rheingau) and five generations later it is Wilhelm Weil at the helm (we couldn't resist). The wines express classic Riesling purity; minerals, stone fruits and citrus abound. The Estate Riesling is a blend from Weil's various vineyards, some of the most striking and expressive sites in the Rheingau.

This tiny family-run winery is one of our most beloved estates. The Schaefer family has been growing grapes in Graach since 1121. They are masters of the 'fruitier' style of Riesling and this is unmistakable in recent vintages. It's incredibly finessed with a restrained lushness and mouthwatering salinity, charismatic and impossibly complex. The plots are located on steep slate slopes and consist of up to 100-year-old, ungrafted vines. Their wines regularly rack up ratings on par with the very best Germany has to offer.
