Germany

The Mecca for amazing Riesling

Germany is a cool climate country most famous for its production of benchmark Riesling and its world leading focus on organic and biodynamic wine production. There are 13 wine regions and around 130 different grape varieties used in Germany, 70 of which are commonly used. The most popular styles made here are aromatic whites, but there are also incredible Pinot Noir and Blaufränkisch to be found. Germany’s wine classification system is a little complex and speaks about the level of dryness/sweetness in a wine, something very important in the product of Riesling.
