German wine has experienced a significant renaissance in recent years. While many previously associated Germany with sweet and simple wines, the country is today known for precision, minerality, freshness, and wines with great gastronomic utility.

Riesling – Germany's Great Pride

Riesling is Germany's most famous grape and is considered by many to be one of the world's most elegant white wine grapes. It produces wines with vibrant acidity, citrus, green apples, peach, floral notes, and a characteristic minerality.

German Riesling is found in many styles – from bone-dry and mineral to more fruity and sweet. The best versions also have impressive aging potential.

Mosel – Minerality and Elegance

Mosel is one of the world's most iconic wine regions for Riesling. The steep slopes, the slate-heavy soil, and the cool climate create wines with low alcohol, high acidity, and a very special mineral finesse.

Mosel Riesling is ideal for fish, shellfish, sushi, Asian food, and dishes with freshness or light spice.

Rheingau and Rheinhessen

Rheingau is among Germany's most prestigious wine areas and is especially known for Riesling with depth, structure, and aging potential.

Rheinhessen is Germany's largest wine region and has in recent years developed into one of the country's most dynamic areas. Here, Riesling, Chardonnay, Grauburgunder, Weissburgunder, and modern dry white wines of high quality are produced.

Baden and Spätburgunder

Baden is Germany's southernmost wine region and is particularly known for Spätburgunder, which is the German name for Pinot Noir. The wines are often elegant, silky, and characterized by red berries, spices, and a fine mineral structure.

German Spätburgunder is an exciting alternative to Burgundy and pairs wonderfully with poultry, mushroom dishes, light meat, and mild cheeses.

German White Wine

Germany is especially known for its white wines. In addition to Riesling, excellent wines are produced from Chardonnay, Grauburgunder, Weissburgunder, Silvaner, and Müller-Thurgau.

Common to the best German white wines is freshness, balance, and a purity of fruit that makes them very versatile with food.

German Wine with Food

German wines are among the most food-friendly in Europe. Riesling pairs perfectly with fish, shellfish, sushi, Asian-inspired dishes, and the modern Nordic kitchen.

Spätburgunder works excellently with poultry, veal, mushrooms, charcuterie, and lighter meat dishes, where the wine's elegance and freshness come to the fore beautifully.
