Ray O’Connor MW and Naked Wines organise fundraiser to support the Ahr valley
Ray O’Connor MW and the team at Naked Wines coordinated a fundraiser in support of the winemakers and local community of the Ahr valley following the devastating floods on 14 July 2021. Through liaising with the German Wine Institute as well as MW and winemaker contacts, the team tasted through over 70 wines from around Germany to select six wines which reflect the premium quality of that region. 100% of profits will go directly towards regenerating the Ahr Valley wine region, raising €58,000 from 3,000 cases sold.
The six wines included were:
- Weingut Würtzberg Pinot Blanc 2019, Mosel
- Korrell Riesling 2020, Nahe
- Kaufmann Riesling 2020, Rheingau
- Friesenhahn Riesling Frie Steil 2020, Rheingau
- Stigler Silvaner 2020, Baden
- Franz Keller Spätburgunder Vom Loss 2019, Baden
