For almost 40 years I am working with wine. As a long-time editor for the Gault Millau Wine Guide, auctioneer of the VDP Nahe-Ahr and founder and president of the German Wine and Sommelier School I know the wines of the world.

Full moon in the plant world? The Internet is full of them. When is sown, when is it harvested etc.

A full moon wine? Yes there are a few wineries worldwide who have already tried it. In Switzerland, it took five years until the conditions were right.

But there has never been a RIESLING Vollmondwein from a top winemaker. A world premiere is also an exciting thing for me.

At the end the quality and the enjoyment in the glass is most important , combined with the knowledge of having a world rarity.

I am sure that this full moon wine will make straight in the Asian market lot of attention, although some wineries probably laugh at this more. Success comes then all Riesling producers to export to Good.
