A true medal fireworks that underlines the high quality of the Franconian wines. District Administrator Wilhelm Schneider cheered: "This is a real medal rain for the good taste!"

particularly outstanding: The winery A. & E. Rippstein from Sand am Main was awarded the honorary award of the Franconian winegrowing association, an honor that only gave the best winegrowers. Mathias Rippstein, who heads the winery, can look forward to this award, which recognizes its continuous top performances in viticulture. The white Burgundy & Silvaner Q.B.A., dry, born in 2023, bears the sonorous name "heart". The 2023 Müller-Thurgau "Luna" also sneaked into the top 10 of the dry white wines!

But the family winery Bernhard Rippstein also convinced the specialist jury! Stefan and Nadine Rippstein were able to shine with nine gold medals, including one for sparkling wine, and seven silver medals.
