The Feinschmecker magazine uses this award to rewared the best and most coherent German wine collection. In the previous years, all of the winners were always wineries that specialized in white wine collections. Thus, the German wine queen Mandy Grossgarten is convinced: "this award for the red wine collection shows that red wines have reached an upper level in Germany as well and how much they are appreciated in the wine scene. Of course I am particularly happy that a winery from my hometown received this award", says Mandy. "The Winery Kreuzberg is thus acting as the pioneer in terms of quality management in the vineyard and innovation in the cellar".
The Winery H.J. Kreuzberg was able to get their hands on some other awards last year, like the "Collection of the year 2010" at wein-plus.de, 3½ stars in the „Eichelmann-Deutschlands Weine 2011“ and the fourth "F" in the "Feinschmecker- the best wineries in Germany 2011".
"This was a real sensation for us", says winemaker Ludwig Kreuzberg. "I knew that we were doing the right thing with our red wines, but that we would win such an award in the white-wine country of Germany, especially nowadays, is completely surprising for me as well as my partners. This will help us improving our quality even more".
