Winery of the Month

Every month we put a winery in the spotlight whose wines are currently particularly inspiring to us. Here you will find the current recipient of our Winery of the Month award — with the reasoning from our editorial team and the direct path to their wines.

Weingut Markus Molitor
Winery of the month October 2026

Weingut Markus Molitor

October takes us to the Mosel. Hardly any other winery translates steep slate slopes into the glass as precisely as Markus Molitor: minerality, freshness, and depth that do not get in each other's way. From zesty lightness to ripe, almost creamy density — Riesling in its full spectrum, for when the leaves fall outside.

Previous wineries of the month

  1. September 2026

    Markus Schneider

    Ellerstadt, Palatinate

    September is all about the Palatinate. Since 1994, Markus Schneider has built a winery in Ellerstadt that does many things differently than its peers: no vineyard designations, no quality classifications, but instead modern branded wines with an unmistakable style. On around 92 hectares, concentrated, fruit-forward wines are created — late harvest, reduced yields, FAIR'N GREEN certified. Recognizable from the first sip, and that is intentional here.

    Weingut Lukas Kesselring

    Ellerstadt, Palatinate

    August belongs to the quiet wines. Lukas Kesselring works close to the vineyard in the Palatinate and makes wines that do not hide their origin, but celebrate it: precise, lively, and with a clarity that you experience from the very first sip. Not a loud statement, but a quiet promise — just right for long, warm evenings.
