German Wine
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Germany produces wine across thirteen official growing regions, with Riesling and Spätburgunder standing as the country's two most celebrated varieties. The steep slate slopes of the Mosel, represented here by Max Ferd Richter's Estate Riesling, generate wines of pronounced minerality and delicate fruit, while Wechsler's Trocken bottling reflects the drier, more structured Riesling style gaining ground in Rheinhessen. Baden, Germany's warmest wine region, provides the conditions Wasenhaus draws on for four distinct single-site Spätburgunders, each differentiated by soil type - volcanic, chalk, and clay among them - demonstrating how precisely German producers map terroir. Schmitges contributes a non-alcoholic Riesling to the range. From an approachable estate Mosel to site-specific Baden Pinot Noir, the breadth here reflects the full seriousness of contemporary German viticulture.
