VDP 2016 GG Tasting -- Württemberg Rieslings (Abstadt, Bönnigheim, Heilbron, Pfaffenhofen, Schwaigen, Verrenberg): Dautel, Hohenlohe Oehreingengen, Kistenmacher-Hengerer, Neipperg, Wachstetter, Weinsberg

Note that the wines from Kistenberger-Hengerer and Weinsberg are 2015s. (Continue reading here.)
