Wines and wine regions of Germany

Despite the general lack of enthusiasm for Germany's pride and joy, the glorious grape variety Riesling, the country is still producing some of the most delicious wines in the world. Be the wine off-dry (Kabinett), or sweet (Auslese), or somewhere in between (Spätlese), Germany is one of the only countries able to benefit from a cool, northerly climate and yet produce wines of great elegance, fine acidity, low alcohol - and which are packed with aromatic fruit.

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Rob Chase’s favourite growing area of Germany, where its most northerly clime is vividly evident in the racy, minerally, appley Rieslings it is able to produce. Low alcohol is becoming fashionable; Riesling likewise - so it cannot be long before these wines find favour once again. The best come from the steep, slate-covered vineyards which sweep majestically down to the eponymous rivers that give this region its name.

Bernkastel
An appellation noted for its important vineyard sites, including the world-famous ‘Doctor’ vineyard.

Ruwer
The Ruwer is a tributary of the Mosel river, the Ruwer joins the Mosel only a few miles downstream from where the Saar flows in.

Pfalz

The Pfalz is Germany’s second largest wine growing region with a vineyard area of 23,363 ha. Bordered by Rheinhessen to the north, the Haardt Mountains to the west, the Rhine River to the east and the French Alsace region to the south, the Pfalz’s vineyards sweep across this pretty land for nearly 50 miles. Its climate is much like that of Alsace and it is the sunniest and driest of the German wine regions.
