Description
The Kühn family has been involved in winemaking for centuries. The estate, which dates back to the 18th century, has been passed down from generation to generation. Under the leadership of Peter Jakob Kühn, the estate underwent a transition to organic and biodynamic farming practices. This move reflects a commitment to sustainable viticulture and a holistic approach to grape cultivation.
Like many top German winemakers, Peter Jakob Kühn places a strong emphasis on Riesling. Riesling is known for its ability to express terroir and can produce wines ranging from dry to sweet. Kühn follows a philosophy of minimal intervention in the winemaking process. The goal is to allow the true character of the grape and vineyard to shine through in the final wines. The estate follows biodynamic principles in its vineyards. Biodynamics involves treating the vineyard as a self-sustaining ecosystem, taking into account lunar cycles and natural preparations to improve soil and plant health. Kühn often uses natural or spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts. This can contribute to the complexity and unique character of the wines. Kühn produces a range of single-vineyard wines that showcase the individual characteristics of specific locations. The estate is known for making both dry and sweet Rieslings, which cater to a spectrum of preferences. Wines from Peter Jakob Kühn have received critical acclaim and awards for their quality and expression of terroir.
The lively 2019 Lenchen Riesling Trocken GG has a pure, intense nose, but still slightly yeasty with iodine scents, which also reveals straw aromas and notes of broken stones. Compact, vital and enormously salty on the palate, this is a rich and intense, tightly woven and mouth-tingling Riesling that combines richness and ripeness with purity and vitality. This is a Lenchen that seems to be closing at the moment, but should be great again in about five years.

The vivid yellow colored 2019 Lenchen Riesling trocken GG is deep and intense on the pure, still somewhat yeasty but iodine-scented nose that also reveals some straw aromas and notes of crushed stones. Dense, vital and enormously salty on the palate, this is a rich and intense, tightly woven and mouth-tickling Riesling that combines richness and ripeness with purity and vitality. This is a Lenchen that seems to close down at this stage but should be great again in about five years. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2022.

Generous, candied-lemon nose with subtle herbal notes, this powerful yet restrained and only medium-bodied dry riesling is just beginning to give its best. Considerable tannin structure at the complex finish, but the wine carries it beautifully and will do so for many years to come. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Terroir of the Rheingau
The estate is located in the Rheingau, one of the most famous wine regions in Germany. The Rheingau is known for its steep vineyards along the Rhine, which provide excellent conditions for grape growing. Kühn owns and cultivates vineyards in prime locations in the Rheingau, including the prestigious Oestricher Lenchen and Doosberg vineyards. The soil of the Rheingau is varied, with slate, loess and quartzite contributing to the terroir. The combination of the river, the altitude and diverse soils creates a unique microclimate that influences the character of the wines.
