2023 Riesling Bergstern Winery Klaus Böhme

If we understand correctly, the ‘Bergstern’ sits at the very top of the in-house quality pyramid at the Klaus Böhme winery in Kirchscheidungen. The vines are rooted in the Rappental valley in Dorndorf.

In the 2025 tasting by Falstaff magazine, this Riesling scored 95 out of 100 points. Let's hear what Ulrich Sautter, the well-known and highly experienced wine connoisseur, had to say about this wine at the tasting on 14 November 2025: Yellow apple opens the bouquet, followed by apricot, lime blossom, Amalfi lemon, pink pomelo and grapefruit, and fresh orange zest. Juicy fruit, laced with fine spice, well-integrated ripe acidity to fullness and a smooth finish, balanced and dense, culinarily versatile." Cheers!

Tasting of 3 Wines: "white - rosé - red"

The time had finally come: the first wine tasting for one person had been booked. Given the Zurich-based wine lover’s preference for red wine, we were more than happy to deviate from our usual themed examples for guided wine tastings and eventually agreed to organise a short round trip covering white, rosé and red wines. As this well-travelled lady wanted to gain an overview of wines from the Saale-Unstrut region, there simply had to be at least one white wine included.
