Germany is most famous for its world-class white wines, particularly Riesling, which flourishes in the cool, slate soils of the Mosel and Rhine regions. Riesling is known for its balance of natural acidity and expressive fruit flavours, ranging from vibrant citrus and green apple to honeyed sweetness in its late-harvest styles. If you prefer something a little different, try the aromatic Gewürztraminer or the fresh and zesty Silvaner, both of which thrive in Germany’s varied terroirs.
While Germany’s whites take the limelight, the country is also home to elegant red wines, with Pinot Noir (known locally as Spätburgunder) being the star of the show. Spätburgunder offers delicate red fruit notes, with earthy undertones and a refreshing acidity, making it an excellent match for food. With more than 13 wine regions across the country, Germany’s wines offer an array of styles that cater to every palate, from crisp and refreshing whites to smooth, complex reds
