Germany; the land of Royal Riesling & Gastronomy

Where German wine grows, something special thrives . On the very diverse soils of the thirteen wine regions, including important areas such as Rheinhessen, Mosel, Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg , select grape varieties feel at home. The most important grape varieties in Germany are Riesling and Spätburgunder (the same grape as Pinot Noir in France). Together they account for one third of German plantings. Riesling in particular, the Queen of the grape varieties , is increasingly appreciated internationally and is becoming more popular every year. Gastronomically speaking, the Riesling grape is very high-quality and versatile. The German climate is perfect for ripening and produces typically German, fresh, fruity wines full of grace, charm and character.

Germany is the fourth largest wine producer in Europe , and it is also the largest wine importer in Europe . Our eastern neighbours do enjoy a good glass of wine. Because the majority of German vineyards grow in the relatively cool climate, the continental climate, it requires not only craftsmanship and a good vineyard, but also vision and dedication to produce beautiful and qualitatively perfect wines. Because it is not that easy; the grapes ripen slowly (due to the cold) and the harvest takes place relatively late in the year .
