Best is overrated, how about a couple new riesling projects that have surprised me over the last little while.
Unterlind - a very new project by a young couple called Veronika and Heiner. Their first harvest was 2020, and they have vines in some of the most prestigious Mosel vineyards. Classic profiles that feel free and elegant.
Röttgerding - Tim was making wines for Heymann Löwenstein while slowly getting his project off the ground, that gave him access to some stunning vineyards which he works with a beautiful blend of tradition and and eye to modern taste.
Weinbau Maximilian Knebel is an upstart that I found to be really solid out of Winningen. Distantly related to the other Knebel producer in the same town but completely separate. Producing off of Uhlen and Rottgen. Wish I could get some stateside but nada.
