Willems
Willems operates in Baden, Germany's warmest wine region, where continental and Mediterranean influences shape the terroir. The winery focuses on Riesling across a range of styles—from the dry Saar Riesling Trocken to the nobly sweet Riesling Auslese and Riesling Beerenauslese. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Falstaff, and Wine Spectator. The Beerenauslese, made from botrytis-affected grapes, achieves particular depth and complexity. Riesling in Baden expresses both the region's ripeness and the grape's signature mineral acidity, a balance Willems pursues across its portfolio. The winery's range spans dry to dessert expressions, each calibrated to the vintage and the vineyard's character.
