Membership:

The „Rotweingut Jean Stodden“ red wine estate is located in the small town of Rech in the Ahr wine-growing region in Germany. The family has a long wine-making tradition, and has been growing grapes in the Ahr valley since 1578. Alois Stodden started vinifying his own Pinot Noir grapes in 1900. Today the estate is run by Gerhard Stodden, who is regarded as one of the best red wine producers in Germany. His eldest son Alexander has taken over responsibility for the vineyards in the Neuenahrer Sonnenberg site. The first vintage of the „Next Generation“ Pinot Noir in the 2001 vintag caused quite a stir. The vineyard area totals 6,5 hectares, with holdings in the following sites: Rosenthal (Ahrweiler), Burggarten and Hardtberg (Dernau), Sonnenberg (Neuenahr), as well as Blume, Hardtberg and Herrenberg (Rech). 85% of the area is planted with Pinot Noir, the remainder is planted with Riesling, Pinot Madeleine, Dornfelder and Dunkelfelder. The red wines are matured in new barriques for a minimum of 16 months, some for longer, and are partly also matured in large oak vats. Bottle-fermented sparkling wines (Pinot Noir, Riesling) and grappa-style spirits are also produced. The estate has been a member of the VDP (Verband deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitäts-Weingüter) association since 2005.

The vintage 2000

The 2000 vintage sees, for the first time, the presentation of two Riesling Auslese wines, of which I clearly preferred the sweet botrytis version. Yet this, too, lacks just a little breeding and complexity. The Pinot Noirs show a solid, and at times first-class standard, without however quite achieving the heights of the previous vintage, particularly with reference to the flagship wines. Nevertheless, this is a most respectable achievement in a difficult vintage, and clearly confirms the status achieved in recent vintages.

The vintage 1999

The range of red wines presented by Gerhard Stodden from the 1999 vintage is quite simply breathtaking, and leaves you speechless. Six of the nine wines presented must be counted among the finest representatives of this kind in Germany, and at least two of them are destined to make German red wine history once they have matured to their full potential. For the first two hours after opening the bottle, most of these wines appear to be completely closed, bitter and inaccessible. Some of them reveal their whole wealth of ""sweet"" beguiling fruit only after several days. I would not be at all surprised if a repeat tasting of these wines in two to four years time would not result in significantly higher ratings. I am already looking forward to the puzzled and amazed faces of international expert juries who will award Stodden's dry Auslese wines top positions in high-level blind tastings, when they eventually find out where these wines were made – simply, nobody will believe it.
