Peter Jakob Kühn
The Peter Jakob Kühn winery in the Rheingau is known for its expressive Rieslings, which perfectly reflect their origins. As a pioneer of organic viticulture and biodynamics in a conservative region, Peter has developed holistic processes in the vineyard and cellar. The wines are characterised by density in structure and aroma with a perfect balance, whether dry or noble sweet. Since the arrival of his son Peter Bernhard, who gained further experience at Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace and Burgundy, the quality has increased even further.
The entry-level wines Jacobus, Rheinschiefer and Quarzit already set high standards, while the Grosses Gewächse from Doosberg and St. Nikolaus are among the top wines of the Rheingau. The Kühn family's wines radiate vibrancy and energy and are proof of how nature rewards the efforts of the winegrowers.

More about Peter Jakob Kühn
Peter Kühn, who comes from a traditional family of winegrowers in the Rheingau, made a name for himself early on as an innovator and lateral thinker. In a region known for its conservative attitude, he recognised the potential of organic viticulture and biodynamics to highlight the terroir. He developed holistic processes in the vineyard and in the cellar, based on the principles of sustainability.
The effort has paid off: the estate's wines are expressive without being overpowering. They impress with their dense structure and flavour, which is supported by a perfect inner balance. The estate's Rieslings show the Rheingau at its best and present the region in a way that is unrivalled. Whether dry or noble sweet - the Kühn family masters the entire spectrum of Riesling and manages to maintain its unmistakable sensory line.
Since Peter Bernhard, the son of Peter Jakob Kühn, joined the company, the quality of the wines has improved even further. Father and son complement each other perfectly and benefit from the experience Peter Bernhard has gained at renowned wineries such as Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace and Burgundy. He was particularly impressed by the work of Olivier Humbrecht, a gifted winemaker who made a lasting impression on the young Rheingau native, and even the estate's entry-level wines, such as Jacobus, Rheinschiefer and Quarzit, set standards in their category. The wines from the first vineyards skilfully display the finesse, coolness and minerality of Riesling.
The wines are not characterised by intense fruit, but rather by delicate, yellow-fruity notes with ethereal hints.
The estate's "Grosse Gewächse", above all the wines from the vineyards Doosberg and St. Nikolaus, are contemporary witnesses to their origins and offer unforgettable Riesling moments. Depending on the vintage, the winery also presents residual and noble sweet Prädikat wines, from Kabinett to Spätlese and Auslese to Trockenbeerenauslese, which cover the entire Riesling repertoire.
All of the Kühn family's wines have one thing in common: they are lively, radiate an impressive energy and are literally under tension. It is this vibrancy that makes the wines so special and shows how nature rewards the efforts and commitment of the winegrowers.
The Peter Jakob Kühn winery is an outstanding example of how a consistent focus on organic viticulture, biodynamics and an emphasis on terroir leads to wines that express their origins in a unique way. With their work, Peter Jakob Kühn and his son Peter Bernhard have not only enriched the wine world of the Rheingau, but also set international standards in Riesling and sustainable viticulture.
