Weingut Karl May

Falstaff Wine Guide Germany 2026

Peter and Fritz May are the seventh generation to run the family vineyard. Still, they are not resting on the laurels of their ancestors: they converted the vineyards to organic farming back in 2007. The brothers are also bold in the cellar: "We are patient and wait, fermentation begins spontaneously with natural yeasts." Rieslings from top Westhofen vineyards form the top of the range, but our current tip is the savoury Chardonnay Réserve. We awarded it two stars at its debut last year. We are now adding the winery to our watch list for an upgrade.
