  • The 24-year-old business administration graduate from Ediger-Eller prevailed over three women and Rheinhessen’s Levin McKenzie in the public final.
  • Emma Meinhardt of Saale-Unstrut and Katja Simon of Hessische Bergstraße were named wine princesses to complete the royal trio.
  • The three ambassadors will represent Germany’s 13 wine regions and about 15,000 winegrowers for the next year.
  • Zenz’s first scheduled engagement is a German Unity Day event on October 3 in The Hague, with further domestic and international appearances planned.
  • The finale in Neustadt an der Weinstraße featured blind tastings and onstage challenges, and outgoing titleholder Charlotte Weihl gave an emotional farewell.
