Specialist German wine importer Iris Ellmann of The Wine Barn is opening her comprehensive annual tasting to the public on the evening of Monday January 15 at the residence of the very wine-friendly German ambassador in Belgrave Square, London. All of their 12 winemakers will fly over from Germany to present their “outstanding” 2005 vintage:
Bassermann-Jordan (Pfalz)
Friedrich Becker (Pfalz)
Bercher (Baden)
Göttelmann (Nahe)
Dr Heger (Baden)
Franz Keller (Baden)
August Kesseler (Rheingau)
Meyer-Näkel (Ahr)
Sekthaus Solter (Rheingau)
St Urbanshof (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
Wirsching (Franken)
Wittmann (Rheinhessen)
This is an impressive array of producers. Alas for wine professionals there is also the big generic New Zealand tasting that day and Louis Jadot's presentation of their 2005s, but there should be some very good wine on show here too.
