Guten Tag🇩🇪 It's that time of year again! To kick off the holidays, the Annual German VDP Auktions are a bit later this year, making it feel almost like Christmas is coming early!
Consider this your formal invitation to participate in the Auktions with us! We had great success last year with the 2022 vintage; this year, it's the wildly profound 2023 vintage that looks to be as great as any in recent memory - concentration, extract, and a beautiful length & complexity characterize what we've seen from all of our favorite producers!
For all of you who receive our emails and are interested in participating in the auction, you will soon receive instructions on how to place bids and a list of wines available for bidding. If you have not received this email and would like to be included or have any questions about the auction, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
Here’s a quick rundown on the auction:
The event will span three days, with donation lots benefiting select charities. The 2024 auction will be hosted at the historic Eberbach Monastery in Germany's Rheingau region. Wines featured in the auction are often exclusive selections, rare cuvées, or limited-edition bottles that aren't available in regular retail settings. This year you'll see some of your classic producers including Keller, Peter Lauer, Donnhoff, Wittmann, Joh. Jos. Prüm, Emrich-Schönleber, and that's just to name a few...
Ultimately, this auction is a celebration of Germany’s rich wine heritage, gathering collectors, sommeliers, and wine enthusiasts who appreciate the quality, tradition, and terroir of these exceptional wines.
