Can a German red rival the world’s finest? Philipp Kuhn proves it can. Since joining the prestigious VDP in 2008 and earning the title “Shooting Star of the Year” from the Gault Millau guide in 2011, he has become one of Germany’s most acclaimed winemakers. Renowned for his Francophile style — bone dry, elegantly structured, and refined with oak — Kuhn has built his reputation on world-class reds.

From the outstanding 2022 vintage, he has crafted an exclusive cuvée for the BASF Wine Cellar: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Blaufränkisch come together in this so-called “Palatinate Bordeaux.” With layers of dark fruit, subtle oak, and a firm tannin backbone, it delivers true international class. Named Winery of the Year by Eichelmann in 2023, Philipp Kuhn continues to set the standard for German red wine excellence.
