Guide to the 2016 Bernkasteler Ring Auction is out!

Trier Auctions | Century-Old Events Selling Some of the Finest Riesling on Earth

The Bernkasteler Ring has been holding an annual Auction almost every year since its creation in 1899.

At these auction events, member Estates offer some of their finest casks of wine on sale. Except for some mature rarities, auction wines are different from the ones sold via regular channels. These are typically made from particularly privileged parts of a vineyard, from very old vines or from particularly ruthless grape selections.

Auction wines often form a pinnacle of Mosel Riesling. Most of our greatest Mosel wine memories have nearly all come from auction wines (for those Estates that are members).

You can learn more about these Auctions, auction wines and how to participate in this Introduction to the Annual Trier Wine Auctions.
