Rebenhof Johannes Schmitz

Rebenhof Johannes Schmitz works the Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard in the Mosel, one of Germany's most celebrated Riesling sites. The steep slate slopes and cool climate here yield wines of remarkable concentration and precision. The winery's portfolio centers on noble late-harvest expressions: Trockenbeerenauslese, Beerenauslese, and Auslese—each a study in how botrytis and time transform Riesling into liquid complexity. These wines marry the grape's signature mineral spine with honeyed depth and lingering acidity. Falstaff has rated the Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese at 94 points and the Beerenauslese at 93.8, underscoring the technical precision required to produce such wines. The Auslese, rated 92.5, rounds out a range defined by restraint and balance rather than excess sweetness.
