Von Winning: Unmatched Dry Rieslings On Sale Now

There are certain estates that quietly redefine what you think a category can be. Von Winning is one of them. If your reference point for German Riesling is light, delicate, and faintly sweet, these wines can feel like a revelation. They are dry, structured, and unapologetically serious—wines with breadth and texture, but also with the kind of cut and clarity that only great Riesling can deliver. We’re offering them at Vinopolis through Monday, and it feels less like a promotion and more like an invitation to taste one of Germany’s true benchmarks.

What sets Von Winning apart is not volume or flash, but detail. The top vineyard sites—carefully farmed, obsessively tended—translate into wines that feel architectural. There’s citrus and orchard fruit, yes, but also smoke, crushed stone, salt, and a subtle savoriness that lingers long after the glass is empty. Many of the cuvées are fermented and aged in oak, including barrique, which adds dimension without ever muting the vineyard voice. The result is Riesling with shoulders—broad, textural, layered—yet still humming with acidity. They don’t shout. They unfold.

These are wines that reward attention. Give them air and they stretch out. Pair them with food—shellfish, roast poultry, richer seafood preparations—and they snap into even sharper focus. With time in bottle, they gain a quiet gravitas, trading youthful brightness for nuance and depth. If you value complexity and minerality over simple fruitiness, Von Winning belongs in your cellar. They are among the most compelling dry Rieslings being made anywhere in Germany today, full stop.

And then there is the Sauvignon Blanc. Not an afterthought, not a curiosity—truly excellent. The same careful élevage and respect for texture shows up here, yielding wines that balance freshness with substance. Think citrus peel, herbs, a flicker of flint, and just enough oak to round the edges. They land somewhere between Loire precision and a more layered, Burgundian sensibility, without imitating either.

Von Winning isn’t always inexpensive, and it shouldn’t be. These wines carry themselves with the confidence of serious, site-driven bottles built to last. If you’ve been meaning to explore the upper tier of dry German Riesling—or if you already know how special these wines can be—this is a good moment to revisit them. We’re glad to have them on the shelves, and even happier to see them find the right homes.

Anne Krebiehl MW-Vinous 90 points “The 2022 Riesling Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten Erste Lage is from a cooler site closer to the forest, partly southeast-facing. It was fermented spontaneously in Doppelstück and stayed on gross lees until bottling in July 2023. The nose is shy but flirts with a little passionfruit. The palate has a rounded, Mirabelle gentleness, very balanced and friendly. Subtle yeast and zest appear on the finish. (Dry)”

Falstaff Magazine 91 points “Slightly closed-reductive aroma, spontaneous fermentation. Dense structure, firm acidity and smooth base, very good in freshness and tension. Aromatically restrained but the substance is excellent. Will continue to develop positively.”

Wine Enthusiast 90 points “This is rather light, with a graceful profile decorated with notes of yellow plum, quinine and lemongrass. The midpalate is supple and balanced, while the finish is juicy, inviting you to grab a bite of cheese.”
 
Von Winning Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Riesling Trocken 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $36, that’s $34.20 at 5% off and $32.40 at 10% off, 8 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 92+ points “The 2021 Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Riesling trocken VDP. Erste Lage shows a deep, intense and elegant, well balanced and quiet bouquet of ripe white fruits and coolish earthy soil notes of crushed stones and hints of iodine. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, elegant and textured Riesling with serious tannins that intermingle with the saline acidity yet need more time to blend in with the fruit. The oak vat might have been newer or smaller here than in the other Erste Lage Rieslings of the vintage, but the richness and substance of the Reiterpfad can afford it. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022.”
 
Von Winning Kalkofen Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $74.50, that’s $70.78 at 5% off and $67.05 at 10% off, 7 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 95-96 points “The 2021 Kalkofen Riesling trocken VDP. Grosse Lage comes from the plateau above Deidesheim and owes its density and complexity to 65-year-old vines growing on sandstone and limestone. The must is fermented spontaneously in 500-liter oak barrels, and the wine is maturing on the lees. The brilliantly clear and radiant sample opens with a deep, intense and elegant, still oaky but complex and fruit-intense bouquet that gives rise to the highest hopes. Rich and intense but also fresh and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, mineral and textured Kalkofen that obviously wants to be a Meursault or Montrachet yet with the weapons of Riesling and also Buntsandstein. Whatever it is, this is an excellent and promising Kalkofen whose development and capacity I’d love to follow for at least a decade. The wine is dense and tight but also fresh and juicy and provided with very fine tannins and sustainable mineral acidity. Highly promising indeed. Tasted as a barrel sample at the domaine in Deidesheim in November 2022.”

Von Winning Jesuitengarten Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $119, that’s $113.05 at 5% off and $107.10 at 10% off, 3 bottles in stock now
2019 Review provided for reference (this wine is rarely reviewed!)
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 96-98 points “The 2019 Jesuitengarten GG displays an intense lemon color and opens with a rich, intense and refreshing bouquet of lemon oil intermixed with vanilla and yeasty aromas and notes of crushed stones and blossoming flowers. It is less fruity and aromatic than the Pechstein and even the Kirchenstück but subtle and very complex at the same time. Full-bodied, fresh and elegant on the palate, this is a crystalline, piquant and firmly structured yet highly refined Jesuitengarten with density, power, tension and a persistent tropical stone fruit aroma—think of mangos but also passion fruit and even ripe peaches. It is very salty and has a serious, very sustainable finish. A spectacular GG for von Wining yet leaner and tighter than the famous neighbors from the Pechstein and Kirchenstück. The finish is not just salty but also enormously long and vibrating.”
 
Von Winning Kieselberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $74.50, that’s $70.78 at 5% off and $67.05 at 10% off, 16 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93-95 points “The 2021 Kieselberg Riesling trocken VDP. Grosse Lage comes from a plateau above Deidesheim with sandstone and limestone in the soil. Fermented spontaneously in 500-liter oak vats and still maturing in them, the barrel sample shows a clear, elegant and savory nose of bright and ripe fruit aromas intertwined with oaky and yeasty notes. Creamy textured and very elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, tight and saline-finishing Riesling with fine and grippy tannins and lingering salinity and mineral tension. It’s still very young but worthy to be cellared for at least a decade. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022. To be released sometime next year.”
 
Von Winning Kirchenstuck Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $145, that’s $137.75 at 5% off and $130.50 at 10% off, 5 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 97 points “The yellow-golden colored 2022 Forster Kirchenstück Riesling GG VDP.Grosse Lage combines ripe and almost tropical (mango) fruit with delicate oak and fresh phenolic as well as lemon aromas. Full-bodied, rich and very dense on the palate, this is an intense and powerful yet fine and elegant Riesling that doesn’t have the drive and drama of the Pechstein but the richness and solemness of a great, refined and persistently salty wine. This is an impressive Kirchenstück that combines power and intensity with finesse and rejuvenating salinity. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2024.”
 
Von Winning Langenmorgen Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $74.50, that’s $70.78 at 5% off and $67.05 at 10% off, 14 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93-94 points “The 2021 Langenmorgen Riesling trocken VDP. Grosse Lage is grown in a cool area up by the forest on a light sandstone soil. It fermented spontaneously in 500-liter oak barrels, in which the wine is aging until today. The nose shows a brilliantly clear, fresh and flinty, very elegant GG with herbal and soil-driven, flinty-scented intensity and the coolish aromas of slow-ripening Riesling. Very elegant and refined on the palate, this is a round, lush and salty-savory Riesling classic that reveals a long, tight, saline and finely grippy finish. As per the vintage, this is a rather lean, straightforward but tensioned Riesling that will show its class in the years to come. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in November 2022. To be released sometime next year.”
 
Von Winning Pechstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $119, that’s $113.05 at 5% off and $107.10 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93 points “The intensely citrus-colored 2021 Pechstein Forster Riesling GG is cultivated on sandstone, limestone and basalt soils. Fermented spontaneously in 500-liter-oak barrels and aged on the lees for 1.5 years, the wine opens with a noble, intense and elegant bouquet with ripe citrus aromas and flinty notes. The wine is saline, fresh and vital, intense and linear and carried by fine acidity and delicate citrus aromas to a long and aromatic, very stimulating and lemony finish. It has 13% stated alcohol and lots of energy and mineral tension. Natural cork.”
 
Von Winning Ungeheuer Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2020 750ml Displayed Price: $69, that’s $65.55 at 5% off and $62.10 at 10% off, 2 bottles in stock now
Falstaff Magazine 94 points “[Translated] New wood, mirabelle plum, yellow plum on the nose. In the mouth there is an enormous concentration, extract sweetness and tactile minerals compete with the acid for dominance in the mouthfeel, the alcohol is disciplined, the concentration goes hand in hand with great length.”
 
Von Winning Ungeheuer Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $79, that’s $75.05 at 5% off and $71.10 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93 points “The intensely yellow-colored 2022 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling GG VDP. Grosse Lage opens with a rich and intensely fruity as well as oaky bouquet with sur lie or brioche notes as well as fresh lemon aromas. Full-bodied, intense and fresh on the palate, this full-bodied, creamy-textured yet also vital and elegant Riesling is still reminiscent of von Winning’s Sauvignon Blanc 500 in terms of style. In any case, it’s a peculiar Ungeheuer in the Pfalz context due to the prominent use of oak. The astringency, however, is positive, and the wine will probably benefit from bottle age. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2024.”
