In March I visited three wineries in the Ahr avoiding the big names and looking for some bargains. Kriechel seemed to offer a decent price quality ratio, with the basic Spätburgunders under 10€ all very clean and aromatic, and the more fancy offering also most impressive. I also visited Lingen in Ahrweiler and Jakob Sebastian in Rech. I found the Sebastian wine at the Weingut quite steely and mineralic (they don't use Barriques at all) and at home they haved proven very enjoyable with meals, and prices were also very reasonable. The Alte Reben wines impress most. Lingen's wines also did'nt disappoint. They seemed very down to earth.
