THE PRODUCER
Peter Jakob Kühn is a renowned wine producer based in the Rheingau region of
Germany, a family-owned estate that has been producing wines since 1786. The
winery is committed to biodynamic viticulture, a holistic approach to farming
that emphasizes the interrelationship between soil, plants, and animals as a
self-sustaining system.

Peter Jakob Kühn and his family have been pioneers in adopting and promoting
biodynamic practices in the region, aiming to produce wines that are not only
expressive of their terroir but also sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The estate is best known for its Riesling wines, which are celebrated for their
depth, complexity, and ability to age gracefully.

THE WINE

The Peter Jakob Kühn Rheingau Riesling Quarzit Trocken 2021 is a distinctive
expression of the Rheingau region's unique terroir, particularly showcasing the
quartzite soil's influence on the Riesling grape. This wine is a testament to
the winery's commitment to biodynamic practices, aiming to reflect the purity
and complexity of its origin. The "Quarzit Trocken" designation highlights a dry
style Riesling, with "trocken" meaning dry in German, indicating that the wine
has little to no residual sugar, emphasizing the crisp, mineral-driven character
of the wine.

The 2021 vintage, like many from this region, benefits from the Rheingau's
favourable growing season, producing wines of great aromatics, with this
particular wine likely featuring vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes, a
hallmark mineral complexity due to the quartzite soils, and a lively acidity
that makes it both refreshing and capable of aging.

LobsterCRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
