ADAC Rallye Deutschland Vintage Harvest

• Vineyard patrons for a year

Munich/Trier, 14 June 2013 – Riesling for the rally! Noble wine is something for the organisers
to look forward to this year. As in the years before, the 2013 German WRC rally event will take
place in the Mosel region, which is one of Germany’s oldest wine-growing regions. The vintners
from Neumagen-Dhron, a town on the Rallye Deutschland itinerary, will present the event organisers
with five hundred bottles of Riesling. This special reserve wine is the by-product of a wine
promotion prize the town awarded to the ADAC Rallye Deutschland in 2011. For one year, the
world’s second-largest automobile club had assumed patronage of the slope called
“Neumagener Rosengärtchen” owned by the Christoph Schneider-Kranz estate.

The jury motivated its award by stating that the ADAC Rallye Deutschland had been held since
2002 and had contributed greatly to publicising the Mosel wine region. The ADAC patronage
included actively helping to work the vineyard.

This was a task Hermann Tomczyk assumed personally: In March 2012, the ADAC Vice President
Sport and Armin Kohl, the veteran Clerk of the Course for the ADAC Rallye Deutschland
together with other representatives from ADAC Central Rhine stood to the 2011 pledge and lent
a hand in the vineyard helping to produce the wine.

“It is a privilege for us to be part of a long tradition of wine-making in the Mosel valley. Since
2002, we have been welcome in the greater Trier area. Every year, the event attracts some
200,000 spectators to the region and TV footage from this unique landscape can be viewed
around the globe. We are proud to contribute our share to putting the region on the world map”,
said ADAC Vice President Sport Hermann Tomczyk.

In April 2013, the ADAC award-winner’s wine, a Riesling “Spätlese” or late vintage special reserve
from old vines was bottled. The bottles are labelled with a special ADAC design. The wine
will be used for the benefit of the ADAC motor sport sponsorship programme and for official
occasions.
