Künstler is one of the Rheingau’s true benchmarks, precision-engineered Rieslings from some of the region’s most historic sites, including Hochheim, Rüdesheim and Assmannshausen. Gunter Künstler is all detail: vineyard nuance, purity of fruit, seamless texture.

Vinous calls the wines “precise, pure and elegant”; Jancis Robinson finds them “consistently impressive.” James Suckling hails their “great tension and energy,” calling them “serious, compact and minerally.”

The GG bottlings are the real statement here, dry Rieslings with structure, depth and real ageing potential.
