Tom Benz: The New Face of Mosel – Award-Winning Riesling and Pinot Blanc – Now at Great Wines Direct

At Great Wines Direct, we’re always on the hunt for the next truly exciting winemaker—someone who defies convention, pours their heart into every bottle, and crafts wines that make you sit up and take notice.

This week, we’re thrilled to announce an exclusive UK launch: the sensational wines of Tom Benz, Mosel’s brightest new star and a true game-changer in the world of German wine.

Breaking the Mould: Tom Benz’s Journey

Tom Benz isn’t your average Mosel winemaker. Born into a family with deep roots in the region’s traditional wine estates, Tom could easily have followed the well-trodden path. Instead, he chose a different adventure—one driven by his own vision of what great wine should be: vibrant, sustainable, and bursting with character, made for a new generation of wine lovers.

Tom’s breakaway from his family’s estate wasn’t just a career move—it was a bold leap of faith. He set out to combine the Mosel’s legendary terroir with innovative, eco-friendly techniques and a relentless pursuit of quality. The result? Wines that are as exciting as they are delicious, full of energy, and perfectly tuned to modern tastes.

Award-Winning Wines: Adventure Riesling & Pinot Blanc Oak Aged

Tom’s approach is already making waves. At this year’s prestigious London Wine Competition 2025, his Adventure Riesling stunned the judges, scoring an incredible 96 points and taking home the title of Best German Wine 2025. This is a wine that truly lives up to its name—a thrilling, aromatic Riesling that balances Mosel purity with a sense of daring. Expect mouth-watering citrus, white peach, and a racy minerality that lingers long after the last sip.

Not to be overshadowed, Tom’s Pinot Blanc Oak Aged also wowed the panel, earning a superb 94 points. This is Pinot Blanc reimagined: beautifully textured, with subtle oak bringing out layers of pear, almond, and a creamy finish, all while retaining the freshness and clarity that define Tom’s style.

Tom Benz: Achievements & Philosophy

Tom’s list of achievements is already impressive for such a young winemaker:

London Wine Competition 2025:
- 96 points & Best German Wine for Adventure Riesling
- 94 points for Pinot Blanc Oak Aged
Sustainable Certification: All vineyards farmed with a focus on biodiversity and minimal intervention
Innovator in Winemaking: Pioneering use of natural yeasts, gravity-flow cellars, and minimal sulphur

But perhaps Tom’s greatest achievement is his reputation as a passionate advocate for change. He believes that the future of wine lies in sustainability, accessibility, and value for money—making great bottles for people who care about where their wine comes from and how it’s made.
