German Wine

Germany has gone - with the aid of climate change - from being a marginal latitude for wine production to something a great deal more mainstream. From its vineyards (often precipitous and along the banks of rivers) come an awe-inspiring range of wine styles. Whilst it is grown elsewhere, Riesling is synonymous with German wine and vice versa; Rieslings from the Mosel, Nahe and Rheingau range from the lightest and driest to some of the sweetest made anywhere. German red wines, especially Pinot Noir, are increasingly finding favour with the consumer and the reputation of German wine overall is most definitely on the up.
